요약

본 연구에서는 산불이 발생하면 대형화 위험성이 증대하여 항공기 특히, 헬기의 산불진화 활용성이 점차 증가되고 있는 관점에서, 산불진화 과정 중 헬기에 의한 공중진화기술과 안전성 향상은 효율적인 산불진화의 성공요인으로서 매우 중요하다. 따라서 우리나라 산불전문기관인 산림청 산림항공본부의 조종사들에 대하여 산불현장에서 실제 경험한 내용을 토대로 설문조사를 실시하여 효율적인 공중진화기술 및 안전성 향상 방안을 제시하였다.

Abstract

Forest fires were easy to be larger in Korea. So the utilization of aircrafts, especially helicopters, for forest fire attack would be increased gradually. In the forest fire attack process, the improvement of the helicopter aerial fire attack technique and safety were the chief element for efficient forest fire attack. In this study, we surveyed the recognition of pilots who worked in Forest Aviation Office which was responsible for aerial forest fire attack in Korea. Using these survey results, we suggested more efficient and safer method for aerial fire fighting based on actual experience of air attack at the scene of forest fire burning.
