불안은 주의 시스템의 균형을 깨트려 목표 지향 시스템보다 자극 주도 시스템을 우선하게 만드는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 자기 교시는 자기 조절의 효과로 목표 지향적 행동을 유도하게 한다. 본 연구는 가상현실 환경에서 현직 조종사를 대상으로 기상 및 자기 교시 조건이 조종사에게 발생하는 불안과 비행 과제의 수행에 미치는 영향을 검증 하였다. 기상 조건은 시계비행 기상 상황과 악기상 상황으로 구분하였고 자기 교시의 수행 여부를 달리하여 비행 과제를 수행하게 하였다. 실험 결과 악기상 상황에서 불안과 심박수가 더 높고 비행 과제의 수행도가 더 낮은 것으로 나타났으나, 자기 교시를 수행하는 조건에서는 불안과 심박수가 더 낮고 비행 과제의 수행도가 더 높은 것으로 나타 났다. 이 결과는 불안의 영향으로 비행에 어려움을 겪어 사고로 연결될 가능성이 증가할 수 있으나, 자기 교시에 의한 비행 수행의 향상으로 사고로 연결될 가능성이 감소할 수 있음을 시사한다.

항공기는 대표적인 인간-기계시스템이다. 인간의 조작과 기계의 작동 완료 시점 사이에는 기계가 작동되기 시작하 는 시간과 기계에 힘이 전달되기 시작하여 완료되는 시간 등의 지연이 발생하며 항공기 조종은 시스템의 지연을 예 측한 타이밍 작업을 통해 이루어진다. 시간지각은 타이밍 작업의 중요한 요소이며, 높은 각성작용과 관련된 불안에 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 가상현실 환경에서 현직 조종사를 대상으로 기상, 비행 및 시간 조건이 조종사에게 발생하는 불안과 시간지각에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다. 기상조건은 시계비행 기상 상황과 악기상 상황 으로 구분하였고 비행 및 시간 조건을 달리하여 실험 1, 2를 실시하였다. 실험 1은 비교적 운동량의 변화가 적고 지연이 적은 제자리비행과 수평비행 상황에서 조종간에 추가된 버튼을 사용하여 시간지각을 측정하였다. 실험 2는 운동량의 변화가 많고 지연이 많이 발생하는 이륙상황에서 조종간만을 사용하게 하여 자연스럽게 헬리콥터를 이륙 시키는 과정에서 시간지각을 측정하였다. 실험결과 악기상 상황에서 불안과 심박수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 실험 1, 2의 모든 비행조건 중 불안이 증가한 상황에서 시간을 과대 추정하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 불안 의 영향으로 시간을 과대 추정하여 타이밍 작업을 실패할 수 있으며, 이로 인해 조종에 어려움을 겪고 사고로 연결될 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

In this paper, we introduce a pilot's scheduling model which is able to maintain and balance their capabilities for each relevant skill level in military helicopter squadron. Flight scheduler has to consider many factors related pilot's flight information and spends a lot of times and efforts for flight planning without scientific process depending on his/her own capability and experience. This model reflected overall characteristics that include pilot's progression by basis monthly and cumulative flight hours, operational recent flight data and quickly find out a pinpoint areas of concern with respect to their mission subjects etc. There also include essential several constraints, such as personnel qualifications, and Army helicopter training policy’s constraints such as regulations and guidelines. We presented binary Integer Programming (IP) mathematical formulation for optimization and demonstrated its effectiveness by comparisons of real schedule versus model's solution to several cases experimental scenarios and greedy random simulation model. The model made the schedule in less than 30 minutes, including the data preprocessing process, and the results of the allocation were more equal than the actual one. This makes it possible to reduce the workload of the scheduler and effectively manages the pilot's skills. We expect to set up and improve better flight planning and combat readiness in Korea Army aviation.

Human and material resource planning is one representative example of Operations Research. Resource planning is important not only in civilian settings but also in military ones. In the Air Force, flight scheduling is one of the primary issues that must be addressed by the personnel who are connected to flight missions. However, although the topic is of great importance, relatively few studies have attempted to resolve the problem on a scientific basis. Each flight squadron has its own scheduling officers who manually draw up the flight schedules each day. While mistakes may not occur while drafting schedules, officers may experience difficulties in systematically adjusting to them. To increase efficiency in this context, this study proposes a mathematical model based on a binary variable. This model automatically drafts flight schedules considering pilot’s mission efficiency. Furthermore, it also recommends that schedules be drawn up monthly and updated weekly, rather than being drafted from scratch each day. This will enable easier control when taking the various relevant factors into account. The model incorporates several parameters, such as matching of the main pilots and co-pilots, turn around time, availability of pilots and aircraft, monthly requirements of each flight mission, and maximum/minimum number of sorties that would be flown per week. The optimal solution to this model demonstrated an average improvement of nearly 47% compared with other feasible solutions.

This paper compares the preceding study on the development of evaluation indicator for ATOs for mechanics and vocational ability evaluation system implemented by the Ministry of Employment and Labor to support various vocational training. This paper also examines the systems for the protection and possible options of the consumer through disclosed notification and evaluation cases such as the traffic service evaluation system in the aviation sector. By extension, in order to ensure quality management and enhanced capability of flight schools, this paper aims to present a methodology for introducing an evaluation model certified by ATOs for pilots that emerges from comparing the preceding study on various vocational training applied with the CIPP evaluation model of Stufflebeam and the procedures for the designation of ATOs for pilots and follow-up management thereon in Korea, dividing it into four stages, which are the preparation stage, screening stage, designation stage and management stage, and applying the items and performance indicators to be carried out at each stage.

Aircraft landing is a complex and challenging flight phase in which pilots are required to allocate attention efficiently to the surrounding environment. A comprehensive understanding of pilot situation awareness (SA) is needed for successful landing. This study was to predict pilot SA during landing using eye tracking data. The experiments were carried out with 5 repetitive simulated landings for four expert and four novice pilots using eye tracking equipment. Three eye tracking features (visit frequency, dwell time ratio, scan path entropy) were developed for reflecting three level of SA model (perception, comprehension, projection). Prediction of SA was performed by developing multiple regression model. Visit frequency of expert pilots was 138%, 47%, 85%, 67%, 117%, and 91% higher than novice pilots in RPM, VVI, altimeter, heading, airspeed, and attitude areas of interest (AOIs) respectively; while 50% and 33% lower in runway and outside AOIs respectively. Dwell time ratio of expert pilots was 38% and 42% higher than novice pilots in runway and outside AOIs respectively; while 62%, 62%, and 65% lower in altimeter, airspeed, and attitude AOIs respectively. Scan path entropy of expert pilots was 33% higher than novice pilots in outside AOI; while 29% lower in attitude AOI. Coefficient of determination for the prediction model for SA was 80.6%. The results of this study can be used as objective data of strategy establishment or training feedback for novice pilots.

Recently, Live-Virtual-Constructive (L-V-C) integrate training system has proposed as a solution for the problems such as limitation of training areas, increase of mission complexity, rise in oil prices. In order to integrate each training system into the one effectively, we should solve the issue about stress of pilots by the environmental differences between Live and Virtual simulation which could be occurred when each system is connected together. Although it was already examined in previous study that the psychological effects on pilots was occurred by the environmental differences between actual and simulated flights, the study did not include what the causal factors affecting psychological effects are. The aim of this study is to examine which environmental factors that cause pilots’ psychological effects. This study analyzed the biochemical stress hormone, cortisol to measure the pilots’ psychological effects and cortisol was measured using Enzyme-linked immunoassay (EIA). A total of 40 pilots participated in the experiment to compare the differences in pilots’ cortisol response among live simulation, virtual simulation, and the virtual simulation applying three environmental factors (gravity force, noise, and equipment) respectively. As a result, there were significant differences in cortisol level when applied the gravity force and equipment factors to the virtual simulation, while there was no significant difference in the case of the noise factor. The results from this study can be used as a basis for the future research on how to make L-V system by providing minimum linkage errors and design the virtual simulator that can reduce the differences in the pilots’ psychological effects.

This paper reviewed the effect of job burnout on safety outcomes, and the moderating effect of safety climate in Korean Air Force. The prevalence of burnout in air force pilots has not been determined and reviewed. It is also unknown whether pilots’ burnout may affect their safety outcomes(safety action & compliance). The primary objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of burnout and it’s effect on safety outcomes. For cross-sectional survey, 910 questionnaires were sent to pilots in air force, and 722 questionnaires among them were returned effectively. The questionnaire was divided into 4 parts examining pilots’ demographic factors, job burnout, safety outcomes, and safety climates. To test and review proposed hypotheses, hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used. The results of statistical analysis appeared as follow; 1) EE(emotional exhaustion) and RPA(reduced personal accomplishment) effected negatively on safety action. 2) EE and RPA effected negatively on safety compliance. 3) EE effected more positively on safety action in higher SS(superior support) group than in lower SS group. 4) RPA effected more positively on safety compliance in higher SS(superior support) group than in lower SS group. 5) RPA effected more positively on safety action in higher CW(coworker support) group than in lower CW group.

This paper reviewed the relationship between job demands and safety motivation, and the moderating effect of A-type trait in Korean Air Force. Based on the responses from 722 responses, the results of multiple regression analysis appeared as follow; 1) role overload effects positively and role ambiguity effects negatively on intrinsic safety motivation. 2) role conflict effects negatively on extrinsic safety motivation. 3) role ambiguity effects negatively on intrinsic safety motivation in B-type than in A-type trait.

Recently, Korea Air Force has been facing a lot of problems in its pilot training system such as training time shortage due to the expensive gas price, noise pollution and difficulties in finding airspace for training. To tackle these problems, a new training system (called L-V training system) using both aircraft and its simulator has been suggested. In the system, a data link is established between aircraft and simulator to exchange their flight information. Using the flight information of simulator, aircraft can perform various air missions with or against imaginary aircraft (i.e., simulator). For this system, it is crucially important that fair fighting condition has to be guaranteed between aircraft and simulator. In this paper, we suggested an approach to impose a maneuvering restriction to simulator in order to provide fair fighting condition between aircraft and simulator.

This study was conducted in search of the acceptance level of air traffic services from domestic airlines pilot's perspective in comparison with male controllers and female controllers. Pilots responded to the questionnaire that female ATC controllers are of significance to male controllers in terms of pronunciation, accuracy of English grammar, attitude and kindness. Besides, The ICAO aviation English proficiency level four test revealed that female controllers were found superior to male controllers in terms of rating scales of holistic descriptors.
