Recently, various urban problems are expected to arise due to the concentration of urban population and acceleration of urbanization, and UAM, a new air transportation method, is emerging to solve these problems. Currently, the world is actively conducting research and development on UAM technology, infrastructure, and systems to commercialize UAM. Although UAM is expected to develop in a similar way to the air transportation industry, research on the human factors of UAM for safe UAM operation and accident prevention is insufficient. In this study, to ensure safe operation of UAM, the human factors of UAM-PSU were identified and presented using the AHP technique targeting aviation experts. In addition, a comparative analysis of the human factors of PSU and air traffic controllers was conducted through relative importance analysis, and an efficient management plan for important human factors was presented.
