Abstract

With the global drone market surging in size, most drones are focused on design, production, operation and sales. However, there are no procedures and guidelines for drone accidents and accident investigations around the world. Recently, the International Air Accident Investigation Association (ISASI) has recognized the problems and has been guiding guidelines for unmanned aerial vehicle accident investigation to support them. Therefore, in this paper, we would like to compare the status of unmanned aerial vehicle accident investigation in each country, analyze the procedures and items of investigation, and present the direction of improvement in the procedures for conducting unmanned aerial vehicle accident investigation in Korea.
