Interest in advanced air mobility (AAM) and urban air mobility (UAM) operations for on-demand passenger and cargo transport continues to grow. There is ongoing research on market demand and forecast, community acceptance, privacy, and security. There is also ongoing research by NASA, FAA, academia, and industry on airspace integration, regulatory, process, and procedural challenges. Safe integration of UAM and AAM will also require different stakeholder perspectives such as air traffic controllers, manned aircraft pilots, remote pilots, UAM operators, and the community. This research aimed to assess the willingness of manned aircraft pilots to operate in UAM integrated airspace based on airspace complexity and UAM automation level. In addition, a moderated mediation analysis was conducted using trust and perceived risk as mediators and operator type as a moderating variable. The results indicated that automation level influenced pilots’ willingness to operate an aircraft in integrated airspace. A moderating effect of operation type on automation level and willingness to pilot an aircraft was also observed: professional pilots were more amenable to UAM operations with a pilot on-board compared to remotely piloted operations. Results from the study are expected to inform airspace integration challenges, processes, and procedures for UAM integrated operations.

ABSTRACTIndonesia E-commerce transactions contributed to GDP of IDR 125 trillion in year 2017 and will be estimated to increase by IDR 910 trillion in 2022. The fierce competition among the sellers require seller to provide a competitive advantage in order to increase revenue. Competitive advantage can be gained by the trust of customers who are willing to repurchase online. In this study, we examine how trust affects online repurchase intention by eliciting the interests that buyers receive when making transactions and seeing the existence of the application of gender differences. The study was conducted using a questionnaire using Google forms on 114 respondents. The findings of this study result that customers intend to repurchases online based on the trust eventhough it has risk, without any difference between man and woman as customer behavior.
