Abstract: Safety Maturity for Air Navigation Safety indicates the extent to which the Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) and regulators have identified the implementation of processes necessary to take safety measures for the Navigational Aids (NAVAID) and to reduce risk. If there is an unstable element or defect in the operation and management of the safety management system of NAVAIDs, and if a series of events happen, it could lead to a fatal accident. The safety management system of NAVAIDs aims to ensure the safety of aircraft navigation by minimizing defects in safety devices and systems. This study presents the safety maturity assessment methodology of NAVAIDs that can be used to improve the safety management and quality of NAVAIDs through analysis studies on the applicability of safety management evaluation methods. This study proposes a practice-centered evaluation model for NAVAIDs, based on the safety maturity evaluation methodology of Eurocontrol. This study adopts a quantitative-qualitative assessment method for the navigation safety maturity assessment methodology, presents practical safety level assessment measures divided into facility management and safety management areas, and secures objectivity and reliability of assessment by weighing each item. The NAVAIDs safety maturity assessment methodology in this study is applied to the NAVAIDs maintenance field to objectively evaluate the navigation service level at the airport and share the results to contribute to air safety by improving the management system and preventing safety accidents.
