The article specified in aviation legislation, 'The captain has the final authority and responsibility in flight safety' could be one reason running counter to applying "Vertrauensgrundsatz". In practice, however, captains do not have professional skills in every task and they should distribute duties and responsibilities to flight attendents and other staffs to operate the flight as safely and efficiently as possible. Therefore, in aviation, fair criterion, namely, "Vertrauensgrundsatz" is necessary to balance between efficiency and legal interest for participants. In addition, when it comes to mutual trust of duty which was the starting point of this study, the standard in mutual advice or interference must be based on the duty specified in air law and flight regulations. Also, pervasive trust will not only be attributed to joint responsibility but an act that cannot be trusted.

The world air transport industry has grown steadily with quantitative expansion. The volume of air transport in the world is skyrocketing with the open-sky trend. Air passengers from or to South Korea has shown 5% of annual growth for the last couple of decades which caused South Korea now ranking in 18th in the World for air transport market size. Quantitative expansion of Air transport affects in policy making of air transport operators, such as airports, airlines or authorities, directly and indirectly. Especially, Aviation Safety field should be supported by policy regime with the growth of air transport volume, assured resources for continuous monitoring is standing out as a vital factor. This study is to estimate social costs caused by aviation accidents and investment costs for aviation safety by airports, airlines and authorities as operators. Estimated investment costs for aviation safety verified by comparing and analysing them. Precedent studies were reviewed to refer research methodology to calculate aviation accident costs and safety costs of operators. Safety costs of operators was calculated with literature researches and interview surveys among professionals of each operators in rational range.

"The prohibition of careless or reckless flight" is the regulation specified not only in the national air law but ICAO ANNEX and FAR. This article(item) has not been categorized properly unlike other items and the question such as why this is described as a fundamental and essential act can be answered only by the party subjected to administrative measures in case of Korea and this kind of violation is so rare that it is not easy to understand the legal meaning and the function of the term, "The prohibition of careless or reckless flight" In case of U.S where aviation cases are common, the distinction between the term "careless" or "reckless" operation depends on whether to recognize the given situation. Some incidents happened by failing to aware NOTAM, violating ATC, or T/W landing where a pilot did not recognize the violation itself are considered to be "Careless" flight. Others such as low altitude high speed flight, approximate flight, Rejecting ATC instruction where a pilot intends to or is remiss in safety are regarded as "Reckless" flight. For pilots who are required to take the highest level of care from preparing for flight to stopping engines or completely disembarking passengers from a plane, the clear understanding of the most basic concept of "careless" or "reckless" flight should be emphasized for the safe flight and it is the time for the authorities to set a standard for proper measures by definite legal interpretations.

In Korea, there is great lack in jet lease agreements compared to many other countries. Due to such scarcity in numbers of jet lease agreements, problems have never truly surfaced and legal foundation dealing with such issues have not yet been formulated. However, as the globalization is making the world smaller and smaller, the demand for jets will grow. As the Korean aviation industry is expanding tremendously, although very preliminary at this time, the interest and actual execution on private jet lease agreements will grow. The prediction of increase in the private jet ownership is causing the lease industry to be nervous and may require particular preparatory foundation works. Particularly, legal analysis and detailed review maybe necessary to set a precedent with will serve as the grounded rule in the future. It is notable that Vietnam, a country which is believed have a less developed aviation industry than Korea, had already established a specialized jet leasing company, VALC in 2007. Also, when leasing an airplane from a foreign financial institution, it is possible to obtain a government issued guarantee. Therefore, it is urgent for Korea to prepare the legal foundation for the future demands in aviation leasing, as well as private jet leases which in turn would promote national wealth and further develop the financial industry.

The traditional safety management method starts with the misconception that similar accidents will recur if the inappropriate behavior of the person who caused the accident is investigated and punishment is not judged. However, in modern safety management, incidents or situations occur when negative conditions latent in the system are mutually influenced and triggered. The precedent for revoking the disposition of suspension of first officer A of Eastar Jet, which won a legal lawsuit against the administrative regulatory authority, is a representative example that will serve as an opportunity for the administrative regulatory authority to break away from the punishment-oriented safety management method of the past. On the other hand, airmans and air carriers also need to have a clear understanding of flight regulations, and when judicial judgment is required, predictable and effective legal effects can be obtained by preparing clear standards for flight regulations. In addition, administrative regulatory authorities expect a change from the punishment-oriented safety management policy of the past to a systematic safety management policy.

The purpose of this research was to develop evaluation conformity to operate courses based on CIPP evaluation model dedicated to approval of training organizations. In order to achieve the goal, the researchers scrutinized related documents and precedent studies, initiated the draft for evaluation conformity to operate courses and secured validity for evaluation conformity initiated through Delphi Method survey. To secure validity for evaluation conformity, the researchers conducted two Delphi Method surveys of an expert panel of 22 professionals from relevant fields including officials from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, researchers from Korea Transportation Safety Authority, instructors from approved training organizations and officials from industries. Through the surveys, the researchers determined 4 evaluation areas, 13 evaluation items and 52 evaluation indexes as the evaluation conformity to operate courses for aircraft maintenance mechanics. On top of that, the researchers established evaluation system in the courses for aviation professionals (aircraft maintenance mechanics), and suggested a follow-up studies regarding managing the quality of education.

The purpose of this paper is to study precedent cases of the Air carrier liability for passengers. The article 17 of Warsaw Convention (also in Montreal Convention article 17-1) provides the Air carrier liability for passengers which is the most essential part of the Air carrier liability. According to these Conventions, 1) the carrier is liable for damage sustained in case of death or bodily injury of a passenger. Precedents and theories have disagreements on whether the damage covers the mental injury as well. 2) The carrier is liable for damage sustained from aviation accident. The definition of 'aviation accident' is becoming problematic. 3) The carrier is liable for damage sustained in case of death or bodily injury of a passenger upon condition only that the accident which caused the death or injury took place on board the aircraft or in the course of any of the operations of embarking or disembarking. The question at issue is the range of the operations of embarking or disembarking. This paper introduces the precedents (also, the model precedents) about the carriers liability for passengers and related cases, so as to help understand the trend of judicial decisions. Furthermore, the cases, once took all of the attention of the international air carriers, concerned with the 'Economy class syndrome' (DVT : Deep Vein Thrombosis) are also presented. Under the new Montreal Convention, the carriers liability for passengers will continue to be the main issue. Thus it is required that academics as well as practical businesses may keep up their studies about this issue.

「드론법」 제정으로 드론의 법적 근거를 마련함과 항공안전법상의 안전규제를 유예 또는 면제시키는 등 드론산업 육성정책에도 불구하고 드론의 정의가 명확하지 않아서 상업적 활용을 위해서는 여전히 논의가 필요하다. 따라서, 국내외 사례조사와 현행 항공법의 문제점을 분석한 결과, 현행 드론법에서 「조종자가 탑승하지 아니하고, 자체중량이 150 kg 이하인 무인비행기」라고 정의되어 있으나, 실제 조종사가 탑승해야 하고 드론택시의 자체중량이 150 kg 이상인 점 등 여러 문제점이 발견되었다. 따라서 드론택시에 대한 정의로 "드론" 이란 원격·자동·자율 등의 방식에 따라 항행하는 비행체로서 국토교통부령으로 정하는 「항공안전법」 제2조제3호에 따른 무인비행장치(단, 자체중량이 300 kg이하 또는 무게 제한 없음) 또는 「항공안전법」 제2조 제6호에 따른 무인항공기로 정의할 것을 제안하였다.

현재 민간 항공기의 기술 수준은 일반인들, 그리고 비행기의 선구자인 라이트 형제조차 상상하지 못할 만큼 발전되어 있다. 초기 조종사들과 달리 오늘 날의 조종사들은 항법사, 통신사, flight engineer 등 3명을 대신한 Flight Control Computer(FCC)등의 computer 탑재 장비들을 이용하여 안전하게 운항, 착륙할 수 있다. 그러나 불행하게도 이러한 최첨단의 항공기에서도 사고가 발생하고 있으며 대부분의 원인은 인간의 실수에서 기인한다. 조종사가 치명적인 실수를 하게 되는 이유 중의 하나는 복잡한 logic으로 운영되는 탑재 computer 장비와 아직도 완벽히 통제할 수 없는 기상 현상 때문이다. 항공기가 첨단화될수록 더 복잡한 절차의 운항이나 혹독한 기상에서 운항이 가능하지만 이와 비례하여 안전 운항에 대한 최종적인 의무를 부여받은 조종사들의 부담은 커져갈 수밖에 없는 것이 현실이다. 그러나 현재 우리나라의 과실이론은 현실적으로 빈번히 발생되고 있는 차량 사고나 의료 사고에 맞추어 발전하였기에 다양한 원천에서 발생하는 크고 작은 위협 환경을 갖고 있는 첨단의 항공 분야의 과실이론과 간극이 있다고 할 수 있다. 허용된 위험 이론을 고려해볼 때 현재 운항되고 있는 고속철이나 우주선은 이미 운용하는 인간의 능력을 초과하여 운행되고 있기에 첨단 분야에 적합한 과실이론이 필요한 시점이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2007년 항소심 판결이 난 자동 조종 장치(autopilot)와 조종사 그리고 불상의 원인들이 복합적으로 작용하여 발생한 JAL 706 항공 판례를 중심으로 일본 항공 판례 및 우리 항공판례를 비교 검토하고 기존의 과실 이론을 비교하여 항공 사고에 적합한 과실이론을 제시하고자 한다. 우리 나라도 항공사고 특성의 하나인 복합성을 고려하여 사고 조사나 판결에서도 사고와 직접적으로 연결되지 않는 사항에 대하여 주의의무 위반 관계를 과감히 배제하는 것이 필요하다. 모든 구체적 사건을 포섭할 수 있는 완벽한 형법 이론이 존재하지 않지만 상당인과관계설은 구체적 사건에서 판단자의 평가 여하에 따라 서로 다른 결론에 도달할 수 있고 항공기는 때때로 조종사가 통제할 수 있는 영역을 넘어서 운항되는 고속화된 교통수단이고 인간과 computer 그리고 기상이 interface되어 운항되기에 일반적 교통사고의 이해를 적용하기에는 무리가 따르기에 우리나라의 항공사고에서 객관적 귀속의 척도 사용을 고려할 때가 되었다고 생각된다.
