  Abstract

To achieve aviation safety, we need to understand and maintain the interrelationships between people, machines, and components of the environment. The Safety Management System, which applies to the military and the private sector, is intended to focus on risk management including risk assessment and risk controls. An analysis of the Safety Management System risk management practices of Incheon International Airport Corporation, the Korean Air Force, and the U.S. Army Aviation was conducted and we sought to apply the results to Korean Army Aviation. Korean Army Aviation is a military department under the Army, so regulations and guidelines for the safety risk assessment are not widely available. Therefore, we supplemented organizational composition and institutional aspects to conduct the risk assessment. The risk assessment was divided into four main stages: preparation, identification of risk factors, estimation and determination, and risk reduction measures. Risks were identified, analyzed, and evaluated based on Army Aviation risk factors then those risks were reduced to an acceptable level. Risk factors included weather conditions, aircraft conditions, and the pilot’s physical and mental conditions that directly affect helicopter operation. Likelihood of occurrence and severity criteria were selected with consideration of the characteristics and environment of Army Aviation. Based on this scoring, estimation of risk was determined and analyzed against the risk acceptance criteria. If a risk is considered unacceptable, risk control measures are required to reduce the risk to an acceptable level in order to achieve aviation safety.
