Purpose : The purpose of this study is to compare the RAM (reliability, availability and maintainability) value in the acquisition phase with operational period for air weapon systems. The objective is to determine if the value of RAM is sufficient in the field, and look for any difference from the target value to some extent. Methods : For a case study, the ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ training aircraft is selected. Data from the two acquisition sources are utilized. One is the operational data in domestic aircraft through research and development, and the other is the data from imported aircraft. The two different sources were collected independently and distinctly. Results : According to the analysis, the domestic aircraft shows high deviation in RAM value compare to the imported systems. This is due to the effort of continuous reliability improvement. In the aspect of maintainability, the result shows a slight deviation, and the availability meets the requirement. Conclusion : The results of this study can be used in finding a way that can be effectively applied to the sustainability in the weapon system. If the RAM performance is significantly lower than the target value, then it is necessary to improve the design activities so that they can achieve the RAM target value.

This research aims to develop a model to objectively and quantitatively measure the skill level of aircraft body assembly workers. Because aircraft body assembly is predominantly a manual process, skills management is a key factor of manufacturing competitiveness. Currently, skills management relies on the subjective judgment of supervisors, which lacks objectivity and reliability. As a remedy, this study proposed a systematic skill management model based on objective and quantitative evaluation criteria. By considering prior research, we developed an evaluation model that takes into account both expertise and versatility of a worker. The model selected five major tasks required for aircraft body assembly and established evaluation criteria considering the difficulty and maturity of each task. We then conducted a pilot evaluation with over 200 workers in four SMEs to validate the practicality and effectiveness of the model. Consequently, we identified and addressed the limitations of the existing evaluation method, subdivided the skill levels based on the performance capabilities of each task, and proposed a career growth path. The developed evaluation model offers critical data for executives and managers to determine work assignments, education, training, performance incentives, and wages. It is expected to enhance the attraction of new talent and systematize skills management in aviation manufacturing in the future.

Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) controls as a type of unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) is growing rapidly and its flight controller stick disposition is required standardization. We should standardize RPA drone flight control disposition because the flight pilot of RPA is hard to be trained so the flight controller stick differences impairs safety and wastes time and effort of flight controller industry. So this study researches the on-going standardization of RPA drone flight control disposition in Korea and foreign countries. Also this paper analyzes and researches of expert about RPA drone flight controller function and application of flight control mode. I accomplished expert research about standardization plan of unmanned flight control mode and confirm the necessity. Nowadays mode1 and 2 are mostly used in Korea so I carried out preference investigation for two modes. There were 4 preferences choices of RPA drone control mode necessity (importance) and recommendation of standardization modes. They answered that necessity of standardization is important considering pilot training, flight safety and positive development of drone industry. The result of standardization mode preference is that they prefer mode 2 (drone maker 86%, training facilities and research facilities 58%, government bureau 60%). Overall preference result shows that mode 1 24%, mode 1&2 16%, mode 2 60%. So they preferred mode 2 by 60%. The differences between two modes are the direction of throttle and pitch. Direction of throttle and pitch operate opposite way. They prefer mode 2 because mode 2 has similarities of manned flight control mode. Significance of this study is that it showed the necessity of standardization and flight control preference in a quantitative way. It will help drone standardization in related industries and development direction near future.

민간항공사고의 대부분은 인적요인에 의해 발생하고 특히 회전익 항공기는 예상하지 못하거나 의도하지 않게 악기상으로 진입하는 IIMC (instrument meteorological conditions) 상황에서의 사고가 많이 발생하고 있다. 이 연구는 저시정 조건에서 회전익 항공기 조종사의 에러율를 다각적으로 분석하여 비행특성에 관한 통찰력을 얻고 IIMC 상황에서의 사고를 줄이기 위한 방안을 연구하였다. 저시정 조건에서 조종사의 에러 발생율을 모션이 장착된 비행 시뮬레이터를 활용하였으며 65명의 조종사가 실험에 참여하였다. 실험을 통해 획득한 비행 데이터로 비행시정 감소, 공간정위상실 유무, 조종사 자격 등 다양한 조건에 따라 에러 발생율을 비교 분석하였다. 분석결과 다양한 조건에서 비행특성에 대한 특이점을 발견할 수 있었고 조종사의 자격 등급, 계기비행 (IFR; instrument flight rules) 자격 유무, 비행단계별 에러 발생율에 유의미한 차이가 발생하였다. 이와 같은 연구의 결과는 조종사의 교육 및 훈련프로그램을 개선하고 IIMC 상황에서 항공기 사고예방에 중요한 기여를 할 것으로 기대된다.

항공운항사고율은 항공기 비정상 자세(Upset)로 인한 조종능력상실(LOC-­I: Loss of Control in Flight)이 가장 높아 ICAO(International Civil Aviation Organization: 국제민간항공기구)는 TEM(Threat and Error Management)을 활용하여 비정상자세 예방 및 회복훈련(UPRT: Upset Prevention & Recovery Training)을 하도록 권고하였다. 그러나 전 세계적으로 항공기 비정상 자세에 관한 TEM 요인 연구가 많이 도출되지 않은 관계로 항공사들이 실질적인 TEM 훈련에 참고할 자료가 많지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 UPRT의 소개와 항공기 비정상 자세로 인한 대표적 사고 3건을 ICAO에서 권고하는 TEM으로 분류하여 핵심요소인 위협과 에러, 불안전항공기 상태의 공통요인을 도출하여 살펴보는 것이다. 본 논문에서 대표적인 비정상자세 사고를 TEM을 활용하여 분류한 결과 공통위협으로는 야간비행/IFR, 자동화 놀람, 부적절한 훈련과 미숙련 부기장 편조로 나타났다. 공통 에러로는 부적절한 엔진 추력, 절차적용오류, 조종, 속도이탈 및 고도 이탈, 의사소통실패, 항공기 이상자세, 복창실패, 크로스 체크 실패 등으로 나타났으며, 불안전항공기 상태로는 부적절한 자동화 모드, 저속이탈, 수직 이탈, 부정확한 엔진 추력 등으로 실속하여 추락한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 공통요인으로부터 개선방향을 도출하여 본 연구는 시작단계에 있는 TEM활용 Upset 향상 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Called VISTA (Variable-stability In-flight Simulator Test Aircraft), the one-of-a-kind NF-l6D has a simulation system that can mimic several aircraft. Though housed in an F-l6 Fighting Falcon airframe, VISTA can also act like the F-15 Eagle or the Navy's F-14 Tomcat. More importantly, such flexibility allows for improved training and consolidation of some sorties. Consequently USAF Test Pilot School students will have an opportunity to learn how to test future integrated cockpits. In this paper we will use the multiple model adaptive estimation (MMAE) and the multiple model adaptive controller (MMAC) techniques to model the aircraft's flight control system containing the longitudinal and lateral-directional axes. Single and dual actuator and sensor failures will also be included in the simulation. White Gaussian noise will be included to simulate the effects of atmospheric disturbances.
