This study presents a comprehensive estimation of RNP requirements for UAM operations, leveraging empirical flight data from the 'K-UAM Grand Challenge'. We analyzed the flight trajectories of the KARI OPPAV. The OPPAV demonstrated the capability to maintain an RNP 0.02. These findings suggest that UAM airspace design must adopt the concept of 'Adaptive RNP' criteria.
