This study examines security management issues of small aviation facilities with F-class landing strips in Korea. Under the Airport Facility Act Enforcement Regulation, F-class runways (1,080-1,280 m) mainly serve light aircraft and flight training operations, but many are used continuously outside the national aviation security framework. A comparative review of ICAO, FAA, and EASA regulations shows that foreign systems apply responsibility-based self-regulation, assigning minimum security obligations to operators. However, Korea lacks such mechanisms for small but regularly operated facilities. To address this gap, this study proposes establishing a new Small Aerodrome category and incorporating a Security Management Plan into the National Aviation Security Programme (NASP). These measures will enhance proportional, operator-centered security oversight and strengthen integration within the national aviation security system.
