The satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) is a system defined as an international standard by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to provide correction and integrity information for signal errors from the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) via geostationary satellites for use by aircraft. As more countries operate and develop SBAS, the coverage area receiving multiple SBAS signals in certain regions is expected to expand, leading to increased research on integrating SBAS or fusing correction information. Accordingly, this paper compares the performance of a single SBAS system (KASS) and a multi-SBAS system based on a weighted model using KASS, BDSBAS, and MSAS near Yangyang airport, Gwangju airport, Incheon airport, and Gimhae airport. Experimental results confirmed that the use of a multi-SBAS system improved positioning performance compared to a single KASS system in all four regions.

Safe and efficient airspace management support is essential to enable multiple aircraft to fly freely and seamlessly in urban areas. The existing human-centered air traffic management control system has limitations in managing the complex UAM operation environment, so an advanced information processing-based traffic management system is required. In this study, a technology for UAM flight monitoring and tracking using smartphones was developed, and the practical feasibility was presented by confirming the error range and other factors through empirical analysis. Although there are still improvements to be made, such as improved location accuracy and security issues, it is expected to contribute to efficient UAM traffic management in the near future.

Unlike existing transportation modes where future demand can be projected based on past performance, UAM remains an uncommercialized future transport system with no clearly established models or procedures for demand estimation. Most current approaches treat UAM as a single transport option, replacing the modal share of existing transportation modes between origins and destinations. This study proposes a framework to estimate UAM demand based on tourism and transport services. To demonstrate a framework for UAM demand estimation, Jeju Island was selected as the spatial scope for a case analysis. However, as the demand estimation process in this study relies on numerous assumptions, continuous evaluation and refinement are necessary before applying the results to policy-making. Finally, this study aims to serve as a reference for future UAM demand forecasting in Korea and provide a guideline for suggesting UAM operation strategies.

In modern airborne AESA(active electronically scanned array) radars, electronic beam steering capability and efficient radar resource management have significantly improved multi-target tracking capability. The number of simultaneously tracked targets, along with maximum detection and tracking ranges, constitutes a critical performance parameter for radar systems. This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of simultaneous tracking performance in air-to-air mode, considering various target types. The performance is validated through multiple target scenarios simulated in an SIL(system integration laboratory) test environment, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach. We designed scenarios to verify performance by simulating multiple targets approaching from the same distance, evaluating threat level changes during simultaneous tracking with missile data link, and assessing target prioritization in a complex environment with both approaching and departing targets.

With the advancement of aircraft automation systems, many aspects of flight operations have been automated. However, situational awareness remains a crucial factor in making quick and accurate decisions during flight. Recent developments in eye tracking technology have increased the feasibility of quantitatively analyzing pilots' eye movements, leading to expanded research in the aviation field. This study utilizes pilot eye tracking data and applies the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to analyze gaze movement patterns and attention shifts across different flight phases. The results indicate that pilots' gaze fixation areas vary depending on the flight phase, with a tendency for increased cognitive workload during landing and approach. Additionally, the quantitative analysis of pilots gaze transitions confirms the feasibility of assessing changes in attention states. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to enhancing the effectiveness of pilot training programs.

Due to mountainous terrain north of the Gimhae airport, only circling approach is established to runway 18L/R rather than straight-in approach. Some airlines put random waypoint into FMC (flight management computer) on the circling approach route or request further descent below MDA (minimum descent altitude) before MAP (missed approach point). Considering the number of traffic of Gimhae airport and terrain and obstacles, this type of approach method has lower navigation safety. This paper will review possibility of establishment of RNP (required navigation performance) straight-in instrument approach procedure using FAA ExVS (extended visual segment) and VGF (visual guidance fix) into runway 18R. This procedure provide continuous lateral and vertical guidance advisory at visual segment below MDA and higher navigation safety than current procedure is expected.

Due to the increase in air traffic and the implementation of CORSIA, the global community’s interest in environmental issues of the aviation industry is increasing. Accordingly, it is necessary to reduce carbon emissions through prediction and reduction of aircraft fuel consumption. In this research, the estimated fuel consumption of flights operating in domestic airspace was identified through simulation using AEDT. For estimating fuel consumption, actual trajectory data were collected and input into the simulation model for analysis. As a result, estimates of fuel consumption by flight stage were identified and compared by route and aircraft type, and the statistical significance between the estimation results for each route was confirmed through one-way analysis of variance. The results are basic data on fuel consumption estimation by route and aircraft type, and are expected to be used to establish measures to reduce aircraft fuel consumption to reduce carbon emissions.

This paper proposes a risk cost model for safe route planning of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in urban environments. Minimizing third-party damage from potential accidents requires a comprehensive evaluation of risk factors such as population density, vehicle density, building information, terrain data, and specific areas where people and vehicles congregate. The proposed model integrates these elements to compute risk costs for people, vehicles, and buildings. By incorporating population and vehicle density distributions, it calculates the human and vehicle risk costs, with additional consideration of terrain information for people-related risks. Furthermore, building height and area are used to determine building risk costs. A case study conducted in Seoul, Republic of Korea, demonstrates that the new model can reduce potential risk costs by up to 16.71% compared to existing models. These findings suggest that the proposed approach significantly enhances UAV operational safety in urban settings, providing a valuable framework for future research and practical applications.

Notices to Air Missions or Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) provide essential information for aircraft operations. However, the current text-based NOTAM system, due to its large volume and irrelevant information, fails to effectively deliver critical flight safety information to pilots. While the FAA and other organizations have introduced graphical NOTAMs on a limited basis, pilots predominantly continue to rely on text-based NOTAMs due to various limitations. This study aims to develop a real-time graphical NOTAM system for runway and taxiway information at Incheon international airport using QGIS and Python. The proposed system is designed to help pilots quickly and intuitively understand airport restrictions within a limited timeframe, enhancing both efficiency and situational awareness.
