Abstract
- In Vol. 33, No. 2, our journal prepared 1 original article and 2 review articles. A Delphi survey with 20 flight instructors identified internal factors that influence student pilots during flight training: mental and psychological stability, physical condition management, and knowledge and preparation for flight. External factors included organizational culture and the relationship between instructors and students. Environmental factors included weather conditions and understanding of flight instruments. Meditation and singing bowls were reviewed as potential tools for health management among aviation professionals. Meditation promotes stress and anxiety management, while singing bowls aid in meditation through sound synchronization with brainwaves. Various countries have established flight data collection and analysis systems for flight safety. South Korea utilizes a flight data analysis system, with cases including analysis of unstable approaches at Gimhae Airport and a takeoff accident at a US Air Force base, revealing habits of pilots based on their home base.
