The notion of k-symbol special functions has recently been introduced. This new concept offers many interesting geometric properties for these special functions including logarithmic convexity. The aim of the present paper is to exploit essentially two-dimensional wave propagation in the earth-ionosphere wave path using k-symbol Airy functions (KAFs) in the open unit disk. It is shown that the standard wave-mode working formula may be determined by orthogonality considerations without the use of intricate justifications of the complex plane. By taking into account the symmetry-convex depiction of the KAFs, the formula combination is derived.
