A Study on the Internationalization of Korea’s Aircraft Maintenance Personnel Qualification System and Training

Abstract

The aircraft maintenance personnel qualification systems and trainings in Korea are constantly striving to meet the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). However, Korean aircraft maintenance licenses are not recognized in most foreign countries. The reason for this is that the educational standards of the Korean maintenance training curriculum do not meet international standards such as those set by ICAO. Therefore, this study aims to examine the changing trend of The Korean aircraft maintenance qualification system and the current status of maintenance training through the study of international literature on ICAO, European Aviation Safety Agency, Federal Aviation Administration and previous studies in Korea. It will diagnose the problems and provide some suggestions on how to secure the international status of The Korean aircraft maintenance qualification system and the current status of maintenance training, and provide practical suggestions for fostering the aircraft maintenance technician.
