The COVID-19 pandemic has wide spread to aviation. This study was conducted to find out the perception of flight training for student pilots in the flight training center in a university with COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: It analyzed through qualitative research by aviation subject matter experts in Korea.Results: The advantages of COVID-19 were the increased flight training opportunities due to significant decrease of aircraft operations in the airports, reduced ground school hours due to Social Distancing concerns of infection, difficulty in communication due to wearing masks, difficulty in purchasing parts for the maintenance, deterioration of skills due to reduced face to face class hours, and laxity in lifestyle were found. Conclusion: It was analyzed that the longer the corona pandemic, the lower the motivation of students due to uncertainty in the job market.

Most aviation accidents are caused by human factors, and in recent years in Korea, human factors have been identified as the cause of 70% of aviation accidents. Human factors that influence pilots in the aviation field are closely linked to judgment ability and are crucial factors directly impacting flight proficiency. Methods: To explore the human factors that may affect student pilots during flight training, a survey was conducted among flight instructors holding pilot certificates.Results: The results aim not only to identify the human factors that can influence flight performance during training but also to establish a direction for safety by addressing the human factors related to student pilots, with the goal of maintaining safety. Conclusion: Understanding the human factors that affect student pilots, who will be responsible for transporting hundreds of passengers in the future, is essential for cultivating safety knowledge and risk management skills, making it a highly important matter for accident prevention.

The two pilots of Ethiopian Airlines flight ET343 Boeing 737-800, heading from Khartoum, Sudan to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, fell asleep 37,000 feet in the air and temporarily lost radio communication with Air traffic Control (ATC) controllers and passed the landing airport on 22 August 22, 2022. The pilots woke up after the alarm sounded indicating the autopilot was released, and resumed communication with the ATC controller, landing 25 minutes later. Aviation expert Alex Macheras told the The British Broadcasting Corporation that it is a serious concern and that pilot fatigue is the most threatening factor in aviation safety internationally, requiring continuous management [1].In order to prevent aircraft accidents that may occur due to fatigue, this paper analyzes fatigue-related accident cases and previous research and suggests ways to improve the management of pilot fatigue. Ⅱ. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fatigue and management 1) DefinitionsThe International Civil Aviation Organization defines fatigue as a physiological state in which mental and physical performance is reduced due to sleep loss, increased waking hours, daily cycles, and heavy workloads [2].

The human factors become the most important factor in aviation safety. In order to prevent accident, pilots should manage errors in the cockpit. International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO) recommends airlines to implement line operation safety audit (LOSA) to identify the management of errors by pilots and understand real errors and the competencies. The LOSA may provide metrics of the prevalence of errors by each types and rate of trapping errors to management enhancing errors. Airlines may understand how crew respond and manage errors. The operator may enhance safety once they identify errors and train crew how they manage to reduce the most mismanagement errors. This study is to provide operators eight recommendations on how to enhance errors and LOSA understanding human errors collected through LOSA and enhancing the implementation of LOSA with guidance according to ICAO and Federal Aviation Administration.
