Charles Lindbergh has experienced the uncontrolled situation of the aircraft while he was asleep with open eyes during his Atlantic crossing flight around 20 hours after departure from the New York in 1927 because of the fatigue. According to the NTSB(National Transportation Safety Board) reports, about 40 incidents are related fatigue in each year. The sleep loss is the most wanted item for the NTSB and may cause the similar effect as the alcohol does. The fatigue may affect the management of the threats and errors especially during take-off and landing. In this study, threats and errors of major accidents that NTSB analysed fatigue as a causal factor will be identified in order to understand the seriousness of fatigue.

The safety should be primarily considered for air vehicle, such as helicopter, which is not easy to cope with when out of order or loss of control that followed catastrophe. The U.S National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigated and analyzed for 34 years rotorcraft accidents that occurred from 1963 through 1997. This paper handles intensively the relative investigation and analysis of recent 10 years domestic civil helicopter accidents to those of the United States in order to increase the safety of helicopter transportation and to consider the main design parameter before we develop Korean Civil Helicopter. To understand the overview of civil turbine helicopter accident, it uses the NTSB's accident investigation results and the overall accident trend for U.S civil single and twin turbine engine helicopter according to category, cause, activity, and phase of operation.

This study analyzes the influential factors and patterns associated with death from aircraft accidents and incidents using data mining techniques. To this end, we used two datasets for aircraft accidents and incidents, one from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the other from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). We developed our prediction models using the decision tree classifier to predict death from aircraft accidents or aircraft incidents and thereby derive the main cause factors and patterns that can cause death based on these prediction models. In the NTSB data, deaths occurred frequently when the aircraft was destroyed or people were performing dangerous missions or maneuver. In the FAA data, deaths were mainly caused by pilots who were less skilled or less qualified when their aircraft were partially destroyed. Several death-related patterns were also found for parachute jumping and aircraft ascending and descending phases. Using the derived patterns, we proposed helpful strategies to prevent death from the aircraft accidents or incidents.

The evaluation of the corrosion resistance of titanium with a TiO2 nanotubes top layer was carried out (TiO2 NT). These nanostructures were evolved into anatase nanoparticles without heat treatment in an aqueous medium, which is a novel phenomenon. This work analyzes the layer between the nanotube bottom and the substrate, which is thin and still susceptible to corrosion. The bottom of TiO2 nanotubes having Fluor resulting from the synthesis process changed between amorphous to crystalline anatase with a crystallite size of about 4 nm, which influenced the corrosion rates. Four kinds of samples were evaluated. A) NT by Ti anodizing; B) NTSB for Ti plates, either modifying its surface or anodizing the modified surface; C) NT-480 for anodized Ti and heat-treated (480℃) for reaching the anatase phase; D) NTSB-480 for Ti plates, first, modifying its surface using sandblast, after that, anodizing the modified surface, and finally, heat-treated to 480℃ to compare with samples having induced crystallization and passivation. Four electrochemical techniques were used to evaluate the corrosion rates. The surfaces having TiO2 nanotubes with a sandblast pre-treatment had the highest resistance to corrosion.

Cooperation between government agencies is important for disaster management, and a thorough and objective cause investigation is important to prevent the recurrence of similar disasters. In South Korea, individual laws are scattered by ministries according to the disaster type, and most are operated as non-permanent organizations that are employed when disasters occur. Although expertise is recognized for each disaster type, each government agency's operation method is different, so when a large-scale disaster involving multiple ministries occurs, there is a limit to the coordination of roles and integrated management between government agencies. In particular, whenever a large-scale complex disaster occurs, problems arise regarding the independence, professionalism, and fairness of the cause investigation. Therefore, to supplement this, reviewing the management methods and systems of disaster cause investigations in advanced countries is necessary. Thus, in this study, the organization status, manpower, organizational structure, and cause investigation work system of NTSB of the United States, JTSB of Japan, and SHK of Sweden are identified to improve the disaster cause investigation system in Korea and are compared and analyzed with Korea's GDCIG. Additionally, issues and problems for the advancement of Korea's disaster cause investigation system are considered and improvements are suggested.

According to U.S. NTSB, from 1989 to 1992, Situation Awareness (SA) was a major factor causing 80% of all aircraft accidents in scheduled airlines. Therefore, the prevention of accidents through effective training in SA became a pivot in aviation safety. Furthermore, during the past 10 years, since all helicopter accidents in Korea were caused by the factors related to SA, an appropriate countermeasure has been required. This study, which uses survey data, examines various factors related to SA that could affect helicopter pilots. Recognition of and countermeasures for the factors in emergency situations were analyzed. The results show that, while the factors associated with SA and vigilance have lower correlations with each other, the factors associated with recognition, diagnosis, and generation and implementation of solutions have higher correlations with each other. Thus, the results demonstrate the need for better SA through educational training.

항공기의 이륙단념(Rejected Takeoff) 사고는 흔히 발생하지는 않지만, 발생하면 큰 사고로 이어지는 경우가 대부분이다. 제트기에 의한 운송서비스가 본격적으로 시작된 1959년부터 2000년 까지의 이륙단념 사고사례를 조사해 본 결과 총 94건이 발생했다. 사고사례 모두가 활주로 이탈로 이어졌고, 그 주요 원인은 이륙결심 속도를 넘어서 조작을 시작했기 때문이라고 미국교통안전위원회(NTSB)에서 발표하였다. 이런 결과는 미국 항공우주국(NASA)의 준사고보고제도(ASRS)에서 조사한 자료에도 비슷한 결과가 나온 바 있다. 따라서 항공기 운항의 기준이 되는 항공기 비행규정(Airplane Flight Manual)을 만들 때 적용하는 미국연방항공법(FAR)상의 이륙단념 전환시간이 국내 현장조종사에서도 적합한 지에 관해 연구하였다.

According to U.S. NTSB, accidents of scheduled airliners from 1989 to 1992 caused by the lack of SA consisted of approximately 80% of all aircraft accidents, which emphasized the importance of maintaining SA. Furthermore, all of the 27 domestic helicopter accidents between 1996 and 2005 were related with pilot SA and of these, 21 events were directly attributed to pilot errors. Therefore, SA is a matter of great importance to pilots. Following the pre-study of the relations between SA and pilot qualifications, the results of this study which deals with SA and pilot working careers show the statistical importance between those two factors.

2019년 9월 8일 자동차운반선 골든레이호가 미국 브런즈윅항(Brunswick)항에서 출항 도중 전도되는 사고를 입었다. 도선사와 선원 23명은 모두 구조되었으나, 사고선박은 복구 불가로 전손(해체)처리 되었다. 미연방교통안전위원회(NTSB)는 담당사관이 선박 복원성 계산 프로그램에 평형수 양을 잘못 입력하였고, 충분한 GM 부족으로 선회 중 발생한 경사모멘트에 대응하지 못해 전도된 것으로 추정하였다. 우리나라 중앙해양안전심판원의 특별조사부에서도 미국과 동일한 원인에 의해 전도된 것으로 판단하였다. 본 연구에서는 골든레이호와 유사한 선박을 대상으로 상황별 GM를 계산하였고, 상황별/속력별 최대 횡경사각을 계산하였다. 선속 10노트 이하에서는 GM값이 작은 상황에서도 전도 위험은 높지 않았다. 다만, 13노트 이상이 되면 20도 이상의 횡경사각이 발생하여 전도 위험이 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 이번 골든레이호 전도사고와 같은 사고를 방지하기 위해서는 담당사관이 복원성 계산능력을 충분히 갖출 수 있도록 복원성에 대한 교육 및 훈련을 강화할 필요가 있으며, 복원성 계산과정에서 발생할 수 있는 오류를 확인하기 위한 검증 절차를 선박과 회사에서 마련할 필요가 있다.
