1. A path determination system, comprising:
a determination device;
an air vehicle; and
a terminal device installed at a location serving as a reference for a flight path of the air vehicle, wherein the determination device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute a process including:
acquiring positional information that is related to the terminal device and that is calculated on the basis of correction information that includes information on coordinates of a reference station associated with an area in which the terminal device is positioned and information based on a satellite signal received by the reference station;
accepting, from a user, definition information for defining the flight path, in the definition information a target point at which the air vehicle is allowed to reach being defined in a state in which a predetermined terminal device out of terminal devices is set as a use target; and
determining, when the definition information is accepted, a flight path of the air vehicle on the basis of the acquired positional information on the terminal device corresponding to the use target and the accepted definition information,
wherein the flight path includes a position that is a relative position based on a position indicated by the acquired positional information and satisfies the definition information.
