Research on Statistical Analysis of Vertical Acceleration Events during Aircraft Landing

Abstract

Despite the innovative technological advances in the aviation industry, hard landing events that occur during aircraft landing account for 13% of all accidents. Hard landing when landing an aircraft affects normal operation by generating a large load on the landing gear and the fuselage. In order to identify these risk factors, the airline monitors the high vertical acceleration event, a precursor to hard landing, through QAR (Quick Access Recorder) flight data analysis, and prepares and implements mitigation measures. In this study, it is intended to contribute to safety management based on flight data analysis that identifies the characteristics of high vertical acceleration G event data that can cause such hard landing and detailed parameters of precursor signs, and to identify the causal relationship of the occurrence of the event by applying statistical analysis methods such as variance analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis models to identify the characteristics of the event occurrence and eliminate the cause in advance.
