A Study on the Physical Environment in the Cockpit of Air-transportation Airplane
Chil Young Kim, M.D., and Hyun Do Kang, M.D.Korean J Aerosp Environ Med 2003; 13(1): 19-28Abstract : Background : The physical environment (noise, temperature & humidity, microwaves, and jet lag) in the cockpit of air-transportation airplane is well known to have adverse effects on flight crew. But due to airplane security reasons and so on, the true environment could not be fully assessed up to now. The object of this study was to measure the status, to examine the effects of the environment, and to suggest the protection from them. Methods : The status except jet lag was measured from the first officer seat in the B747-400/ B737-400/500 cockpit at several flight stage (pre-flight, after engine start, take off, climb, cruise, descent).Jet lag was examined through a flight crew schedule for 45 days. Results: Noise level (74-84 dB), humidity (19%), microwaves (well above the caution and dangerous range), and jet lag (not enough to adjust from flight) were measured. The physical environment was examined which had considerable adverse effects on flight crew. Conclusion : The flight crew should be aware of the status which increase work load and physical load during flight. They must leave the cockpit as much as possible while they are off duty and be isolated from such status during rest.

Cancer Incidence and Mortality in Flight Crews
Joungsoon Jang, M.D., Wooseok Hyun, Ph.D.Korean J Aerosp Environ Med 2010; 20(2): 39-42Abstract : Flight crews are exposed to occupational hazards including ionizing radiation of cosmic origin and life-style factors that may influence their health status and mortality. Epidemiologic cohort studies of cancer incidence and mortality among flight crews have shown differences compared with general population. Cohort studies conducted in North America and European countries for the last decades showed that increased risk for malignant melanoma has been the most consistent finding to date. Increased risk for cancers of the brain and prostate as well as for leukemia were found in some studies, but not in all although overall cancer mortality is being decreased. Typical findings have included a high risk of aviation accidents and decreased mortality from cardiovascular events. Concerning that death from cancer has become a leading cause of death in general population a global collaborative mortality study among flight personnel need to be set up to monitor potential health care problems.

Comparison of Aviation Medical Standards in Pilots with Coronary Heart Disease between Korea and Other Countries
Young Hwan Kwon, M.D.Korean J Aerosp Environ Med 2010; 20(2): 43-52Abstract : Aviation medical examination is closely related to flight safety. The purpose of the periodic physical examination is to prevent incapacitation in the cockpit with potentially disastrous consequences to life and property. Aerospace medical association of Korea has the authority to review aviation examination reports. The board of aviation medical examination can decide to the waiver or defer cases. They can make a medical decision based on the guidelines for aviation medical examiners, but the guidelines are not in detail. References of foreign country’s manuals of aviation medical examination such as International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Joint Aviation Authority (JAA), and Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) are often utilized. The purpose of this study was to compare the aviation medical guidelines and the regulations in pilots with coronary heart disease of Korea and other countries. There was no significant difference between the Korean aviation medical manual and the others including ICAO, especially in the case of coronary heart disease.

The Statistics of Airman Medical Certification of ROK in 2009
Young Hwan Kwon, M.D.Korean J Aerosp Environ Med 2012; 22(1): 1-4Abstract : Background: Aviation medical examination has a primary role to assess an airman’s flight eligibility and to detect any illness or disease beforehand that might cause incapacitation during flight. This study is to analyze the total issuances in 2009, and to understand what the causative diseases and illnesses of the major waiver and denial cases. Methods: This study was done by statistical analysis of the total issuance of Airman’s Medical Certificate reviewed by the Aerospace Medical Association of Korea from Jan. 1st to Dec. 31st in 2009. Results: The Aerospace Medical Association of Korea reviews more than 5,000 issuances every year, and the most of them are first class Airman’s Medical Certificate for airline transport pilot license or commercial pilot license holders (91.5%). Also most of the applicants are the airline pilots (71.0%). In Korea, first class medical certificates are for airline transport pilot, commercial pilot, or first officer, second class are for private pilot, commercial glider pilot, student pilot, pilot of light aircraft, flight engineers, or flight navigator, and third class are for aviation traffic controllers. In 2009 the total application forms that the consultant committee were 725 (13.6%). Since an applicant can have more than one reason for waiver, pending, or denial, the total numbers of reasons were 920. The committee determined 825 cases as waiver, 36 cases as pending, and 29 cases as denial. The 825 waiver cases were sorted into 270 cardiovascular disease cases (30%), 196 ophthalmologic disease cases (21%), 151 otorhinolaryngologic disease cases (16%), 79 endocrinologic disease cases (9%), 58 genitourinary & renal disease (7%), 57 gastrointestinal disease (7%), and etc. 30 cases of denial were 8 ophthalmologic disease cases (26.7%), 6 cardiovascular disease cases (20%), 3 neurologic disease cases (10%), 3 endocrinologic disease cases (10%), and etc. Among these denial cases included the cases which were lack of observation period after initiation of pharmacological treatment for diabetes, after stent insertion due to coronary artery occlusive disease, after the termination of malignant melanoma, and after the completion of depression treatment with medicine. Also there were cases which was submitted with not-enough medical data. In conclusion, among total 5,342 applicants in 2009, 4,642 were fit (86.9%), 670 were waiver (12.5%), 30 were denial (0.6%). The annual denial rate based on airman applicants is 5.6 per 1,000. Conclusion: In 2009, for a year, the denial cases due to the diseases under treatment, not completed were 19 cases; 6 cases of ophthalmologic disease, 3 cases of cardiovascular disease, 3 cases of neurologic disease, 2 cases of endocrinologic disease, and 1 psychiatric/gastrointestinal/respiratory/ hematologic diseases respectively. The rest 11 denials were due to lack of observation period before issuance, or not-enough medical data. This statistics are compatible with other statistics regarding medical certificate issuance. And the reasons of denial also show almost similar aspects. For the cases of lack of observation period and not-enough data, the aviation medical examiners should draw more close attention and have comprehensive measurements preparation. Furthermore, the government needs to strengthen aviation medical examiners education.

Medical Status of Civilian Pilots Over 60 Years of Age
Young Hwan Kwon, M.D.Korean J Aerosp Environ Med 2014; 24(1): 1-4Abstract : In 2009, the Republic of Korea accepted ICAO’s changes to Annex 1 and extended the retirement age of civilian pilots from 60 to 65 years of age. From medical examination data submitted to the Aerospace Medical Association of Korea for the issuance of aviation medical certification in 2012, data for pilots over 60 years of age has been reviewed. A total of 216 pilots (3.5%) over 60 years of age applied for the issuance of aviation medical certificate in 2012 and the average age for the 223 pilots is 61.6±1.4. Among the 216 pilots, 126 (58.3%) pilots were determined to be fit for a flight, 89 (41.2%) were determined to be waiver, and 1 pilot (0.5%) was determined to be unfit. The research shows that civilian pilots over 60 years of age have a higher rate of waiver than pilots below 60 years of age, which also indicates the higher probability of in-flight incapacitation. Therefore, age, health conditions, flight experience, development of flight environment, and aviation safety should be considered first and foremost when making aviation medical decision on civilian pilots over 60 years of age.

Cancer Treatment in Flight Crews
Joungsoon Jang, M.D.Korean J Aerosp Environ Med 2015; 25(1): 7-10Abstract : Flight crews are exposed to unnatural environment with high altutude and life-style factors that may influence their health status and mortality. Epidemiologic cohort studies of cancer incidence and mortality among flight crew is not quite different from general population and sometimes even better and treatment policy is generally same with the population. But in the matter of back-to-work after treatment it is much different from usual occupation in that working environment of flight crew is much more severe and hazadous. So flight crew who suffers from cancer should be handled differently because of their profession. Flight crew who suffers from cancer is supposed to be excluded from duty at least 1 year after the completion of anticancer treatment irrespective of its modality such as surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. During that time of grounding the crew patient will have recovery time from side effects of treatment and he or she will have surveillence check of cancer recurrence. After that time Flight crew who is proven to be cured from cancer can be allowed to back-to-work with condition. Because anticancer chemotherapy is applied to the most cancers the residual side effects should be taken into account when determining back-to-work. Nowadays long term cancer survivors become common so long term side effects of chemotherapy such as secondary cancer, chronic residual organ damage such as cardiac toxicity or neuronal damage is worthy to be concerned. While cancer is a fatal disease we achieve improvement of cancer treatment and developments in aviation technology as well. Those lead us to face with changing standards for flight crew who have cancer treatment.

How to Evaluate Obstructive Sleep Apnea for Flight Crew
Young Hwan Kwon, M.D.Korean J Aerosp Environ Med 2018; 28(2): 23-29Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a breathing disorder characterized by a secondary intermittent decrease in blood oxygen saturation concentration, increased respiratory ability, and frequent awakening due to obstruction of airflow through repetitive upper airway during sleep. In adults, it is known to occur in 2 to 4% of the total population. In the case of obstructive sleep apnea without treatment for a long period of time, there is a decrease in working productivity due to daytime sleepiness and concentration problems. In addition, there are several types of serious complications, such as anorexia nervosa, related diseases, metabolic syndrome, etc. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reported a six-fold increase in the risk of aviation crashes for pilots with OSA. Based on this, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is required to evaluate OSA on an aviation medical examination. OSA is an important issue directly linked to aviation safety. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the importance of the evaluation of obstructive sleep apnea in aviation medical examination and the evaluation method of OSA in foreign and domestic aviation medical examination.

Deterioration and Recurrence in Flight Passengers with Ischemic Stroke: An Evidence Based Case Report
Abstract : Ischemic stroke is a cerebrovascular disease characterized by a sudden neurological deficit due to thrombotic or embolic event. The physiological changes during in-flight related to high altitude, hypobaric hypoxic, is a condition that can affect blood circulation in the brain. There was limited evidence to prove the possibility of clinical condition deterioration and/or new onset of recurrent stroke among commercial flight passengers with ischemic stroke. This evidence-based case report aims to determine the possibility of clinical condition deterioration and/or new onset of recurrent stroke on commercial flight passengers with history of ischemic stroke related to hypoxia hypobaric during the in-flight or post-flight period. Three relevant articles were found in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Ingenta library databases. After critical appraisal, all of the relevant articles were shown to be valid, important, and applicability with the level of evidence ranging from III–IV. There were no studies that reported a clinical condition deterioration and/or a new onset of recurrent stroke among commercial flight passengers with ischemic stroke. However, two studies reported a new case of ischemic stroke during in-flight with unknown etiology. Commercial flight passengers with history of ischemic stroke didn’t show any clinical condition deterioration and/or a new onset of ischemi stroke during in-flight or post-flight.

Blockchain: An Overview and Its Applications in Aviation
Abstract : Blockchain is a type of distributed database managed through multiple network transaction details (P2P, Peer to Peer), and transaction information is stored on multiple computers (nodes) connected to the blockchain network instead of storing it in one server. It is an algorithm that binds transaction details to form blocks, connects multiple blocks like a chain, and then copies and distributes them by a large number of people. In the case of the aviation industry, it is worth making full use of blockchain technology to revolutionize existing systems and business processes in terms of cost and transaction transparency, so blockchain can become one of the innovative technologies that will change the paradigm of the aviation industry. As the blockchain market is still in an immature stage and the development of technology is expected in the future, it is necessary to prepare support measures to lead and preempt the global blockchain market in the future through development support and cooperation that can be actively used in the field.

An Exploratory Study on Human Factor Analysis of Medical Accidents Using the SHELL (Software, Hardware, Environment, Liveware) Model
Abstract : The SHELL (Software, Hardware, Environment, Liveware) model is one of the models for determining the cause of aviation accidents. The human factors of medical accidents are analyzed through the SHELL model. This study is a case study that analyzed a total of three cases, including two medical accident court precedents and one large fire at a medical institution. In the human factor analysis of cases 1 and 2, the main factors were that liveware (human) violated the duty of care and did not follow the guidelines of the institution. The large fire incident in the hospital in Case 3 was caused by a lack of awareness of the safety of managers, the installation of illegal facilities and environments, lack of medical staff’s response and training, and the condition of patients who were mostly elderly. The liveware at the center of the SHELL model is the most important human factor, and the environment, facilities, and equipment surrounding liveware must be supplemented to prevent future medical accidents.

A Study on the Flight Operations Quality Assurance System for Predictive Safety Management of the Republic of Korea Air Force
Abstract : In 1962, British Airways implemented Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) for the first time in order to reduce the rate of increase in aviation accidents, which could increase due to the expansion of the aviation industry and the increase in traffic. After that, in 1995, it was developed for the purpose of collecting/analyzing flight data on technical defects and dangerous situations that occur in actual flights through voluntary participation programs by U.S. airlines. In the private sector, it has been regulated and operated in most countries since early 2000 according to the recommendations of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Federal Aviation Administration. In addition, civil airlines are required to conduct FOQA as part of Safety Management System in accordance with ICAO ANNEX-6. The U.S. Air Force benchmarks the FOQA safety program in the civilian sector and applies it under the name of Military FOQA. Therefore, in the Republic of Korea Air Force, there is a need to ensure flight safety in an objective and scientific way by deriving event parameters for the introduction of the flight data analysis system in order to perform predictive safety management in accordance with the trend of the times.

A Study on Health Promotion Management Plan for Air Traffic Controllers and Pilots in Post-COVID-19: Focusing on Singing Bowl Meditation
Abstract : COVID-19 has severely impacted the aviation industry, with air travel declining sharply and airlines cutting capacity as a result. Additionally, many countries have closed their borders to block spread of the virus. Air traffic controllers and pilots have also experienced negative effects, in that the experience required to maintain proficiency has decreased over the past three years. This has resulted in financial problems for airlines and air traffic control facilities, leading to increased job uncertainty and a manpower imbalance. As air traffic volumes begin to increase again, air traffic controllers and pilots responsible for passenger safety may experience extreme stress and anxiety in new situations. To address this problem, healthcare methods are needed to help aviation professionals to overcome stress and reduce anxiety. Meditation can stabilize the autonomic nervous system, promote relaxation and comfort in the mind and body, and could aid in smooth metabolism by suppressing the sympathetic nerves that cause our bodies to feel tension and activating the parasympathetic nerves. However, achieving the benefits of meditation can require time and effort, and general meditation can be challenging for individuals experiencing physical pain. Therefore, singing bowl meditation is recommended, as it can easily induce a meditative state. The sounds produced by Tibetan singing bowls can promote meditation by tuning the alpha waves, theta waves, and gamma waves of electoencephalography. Singing bowl meditation is a beneficial method for individuals with limited time or physical disabilities due to work schedules, such as air traffic controllers and pilots, to easily access meditation.

Fatigue Management Strategy for Shift Workers in the Air Traffic Control
Abstract : Recently, shift work, including night shift, has been widely implemented in modern society. These include workplaces that have to work 24 hours a day for production processes, such as petrochemicals, power plants, and steel industries, as well as industries necessary to secure public services such as gas and electricity. In particular, workers in the aviation sector are mostly engaged in shift work due to the nature of their 24 hours of continuous work. Most shift workplaces comply with legal work regulations, but they fail to take into account workers’ fatigue and focus only on compliance with regulatory requirements. Specifically, shift work needs to provide minimum guidelines for workers’ safety and health. Therefore, this study analyzed and reviewed the current status of shift work in the air traffic control field, where shift work is essential, and presented guidelines for the safety and health care of shift workers. First of all, the international shift work guidelines and domestic laws related to shift work were reviewed, and the characteristics of the shift work system in the air traffic control field were reviewed. For the guidelines, we discussed the shift method, shift speed (direction), shift work hours and hours, night work, and other considerations.
