  • Based on the K-UAM roadmap, this study evaluated the safety for the initial UAM demonstration project and operation. Research in each field is underway for early settlement of UAM, but the progress of research is showing limitations without clear regulations and lack of operational experience. This study aims to find a way for UAM to operate in reality, and for this purpose, the defense system for evaluating the safety of civil aviation was applied as SMS. In addition, the technical elements of the maneuvering of UAM aircraft were reviewed from a flight perspective. As a result, a unexpected problem was derived in the take-off and landing stage of the current airspace, flight corridor, and operation stage. Based on this, alternatives were derived and suggested to successfully complete the UAM demonstration project by FOSA which is Risk assessment Tool. Therefore, if the direction of UAM research is set by citing the results of this study, it is expected to contribute to the safe operation of UAM.
