항공 승무원의 피로관리를 위한 휴식시설 운영 실태 분석 - 법적 개선방안을 중심으로

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the legal standards and operational status of in-flight rest facilities in domestic and international aviation regulations, identify the impact of insufficient in-flight rest facilities and accumulated fatigue on aviation safety, and propose improvement measures. International standards from organizations such as ICAO, FAA, EASA, and Japan differentiate levels of rest facilities and impose limits on crew flight time and flight duty periods. However, in South Korea, regulations regarding rest facilities exist only for flight crew, and there are no standards of rest facilities for cabin crew. In particular, the study identified cases where certain aircraft models operated by national airlines, such as the B787-10, B777-300, and A330-300, are equipped with in-flight rest facilities below international standards or lack such facilities entirely. This may hinder rotational rest or degrade sleep quality, potentially acting as a risk factor to aviation safety. The results indicate that the current standards for in-flight rest facility installation under the Aviation Safety Act present legal inconsistencies when applied to actual flight operations. Furthermore, due to the absence of specific regulations for cabin crew, the fatigue risk management system remains insufficient. Based on these findings, this study proposes several improvement measures, including revising the standards for in-flight rest facilities, establishing specific regulations for cabin crew rest systems, mandating adequate in-flight rest facilities in the procurement of long-haul aircraft, and reinforcing fatigue-based duty scheduling practices. This research is expected to contribute to enhancing aviation safety and establishing a fatigue risk management system by implementing more effective standards for crew members in-flight rest facilities.
