This study was conducted to explore ways to improve the operation of NCS-based curricula, focusing on vocational education programs. The purpose is to design and establish an effective NCS-based vocational education curriculum and to apply it in educational settings. For the purpose of improving the operation of NCS-based curricula, this study first reviewed the relevant information and system operations presented on the National Competency Standards (NCS) website (http://www.ncs.go.kr/). This is because effective vocational education can only be achieved when accurate information regarding the curriculum and educational content is properly delivered. In conclusion, it is required to identify the problems in the design, composition, and operation of vocational education curricula, and to establish curriculum design strategies that can enhance the overall efficiency of vocational education programs. Based on the results of this study, the research examined the competency unit “Inspection of Aircraft Reciprocating Engine Fuel Systems” under the NCS categories — Major Category [15. Machinery], Subcategory [09. Aircraft Manufacturing], Minor Category [03. Aircraft Maintenance], and Detailed Category [03. Aircraft Reciprocating Engine Maintenance] — and designed the learning content for the NCS learning module “Inspecting the Boost Pump.” The designed practical training plan has the following characteristics: First, by incorporating additional content from the NCS competency unit, it was structured to be applicable in actual workplaces that operate aircraft equipped with reciprocating engines. Second, it aims to enhance troubleshooting skills required for the maintenance of aircraft reciprocating engines. Third, the contents were designed to align with the practical training environments of educational institutions while ensuring applicability to real-world work settings. Fourth, it was designed to allow learners to simultaneously practice content related to obtaining aviation-related certifications. This study is significant in that it designed a vocational education curriculum and proposed effective strategies for improving vocational education. However, there are certain limitations. The study did not include an empirical implementation or analysis of the results based on the designed instructional program. In addition, it did not develop curricula that reflect the specific characteristics of individual subjects within the field of NCS-based aircraft maintenance through the design of diverse course modules.
