Map Evacuation Routes And Assembly Points At The H. Hasan Aroeboesman Ende Airport Terminal

Lady Silk Moonlight — 2026-01-08

Airports are facilities that support mobility and transfers between air transportation and other modes of transportation. H. Hasan Aroeboesman Airport, Ende, is located directly adjacent to the ocean and mountains. This condition exposes the airport to potential natural hazards. However, disaster-prevention efforts in the airport terminal building are still not optimal, particularly due to the absence of evacuation routes and designated assembly points. This study aimed to support emergency preparedness at the new terminal building of H. Hasan Aroeboesman Airport, Ende, by developing an evacuation route map, identifying appropriate assembly points, and evaluating terminal users’ perceptions of the proposed evacuation plan and its relationship with perceived safety. This study used a descriptive quantitative method to describe the current situation of the research object. Data-collection techniques included observation, documentation, interviews, a literature review, and questionnaire distribution. In the planning stage, the analysis focused on the existing conditions of the airport terminal. Meanwhile, the evaluation stage focused on measuring users’ responses to the proposed evacuation routes and assembly points. The sample consisted of 100 respondents, including 50 airport personnel and 50 passengers. The study used both primary and secondary data. Data analysis included validity and reliability tests, descriptive analysis, Spearman’s rank correlation, simple linear regression, and a partial t-test. The results proposed three potential assembly-point locations and showed that the average index values for the implementation and perceived-safety variables were 86.60% and 82.80%, respectively. The Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.730 with p < 0.001 indicated a strong, positive, and significant relationship between the proposed implementation of evacuation routes and assembly points and the perceived safety of users of the new terminal building at H. Hasan Aroeboesman Airport, Ende.

Analysis of Wildlife Hazards at Airports under the Jakarta AIS Region

Amelia Putri — 2026-08-29

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Safety Risk Management (SRM) implementation and mitigation procedures for wildlife hazards at Radin Inten II Airport and Supadio Airport, under the Jakarta Aeronautical Information Service (PIA) Region. Using a qualitative approach—through direct observation, document review, and interviews—the study reveals that both airports have applied basic mitigation measures such as 3–4 daily patrols, manual dispersal (e.g., vehicle chases and pyrotechnics), and NOTAM issuance during high wildlife activity. Supadio Airport further applies environmental strategies, including closing three open drainage channels and managing water gates to minimize bird attraction. However, several challenges remain: lack of modern equipment (e.g., bird radar), limited operational funding, and the absence of specialized wildlife control units. Dispersal methods also become less effective over time as wildlife adapts to recurring deterrents. Strengthening SRM requires forming dedicated units, improving technology, and conducting regular evaluations. The novelty of this research lies in its comparative analysis between two airports under the same regional authority, highlighting practical differences in implementation and offering targeted recommendations for improved wildlife hazard control at regional Indonesian airports.

Competency Needs Assessment Of High Angle Rescue Technique (HART) For Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Personnel In Supporting Safety At Kualanamu International Airport

Muhammad Haeqal Azizi — 2026-08-29

This study aims to assess the need for High Angle Rescue Technique (HART) competencies for Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) personnel in supporting safety at Kualanamu International Airport. Through observation-based qualitative methods, in-depth interviews with ARFF Chief, Team Leader, as well as supporting data from questionnaires on 50 personnel, it was found that the majority of ARFF personnel considered HART competency very important to support the effectiveness of evacuation in high altitude areas. However, the main limitations are the lack of training frequency, lack of facilities such as full body harness, pulley, and rescue stretcher, and the absence of standardized HART training SOP/modules. Gap analysis shows that training and equipment have not met the ideal needs according to national and international standards. This study emphasizes the need for structured and continuous HART training, additional equipment according to standards, and strengthening internal regulations so that HART competence becomes an obligation of all ARFF personnel to improve preparedness in emergency conditions at altitude.

Monitoring the Movement of Vehicles and Ground Support Equipment to Improve Standard Operating Procedure Compliance at the Airside of Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan International Airport

Jeremy Juni WIlson Saragih Saragih — 2026-08-25

This study examines the effectiveness of Apron Movement Control (AMC) supervision in enforcing Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) compliance for vehicles and Ground Support Equipment (GSE) at Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan International Airport. It also identifies factors associated with violations and develops operational recommendations. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combined observation, structured interviews, documentation, and a four-point Likert questionnaire administered to 31 ground handling personnel. Quantitative analysis included validity and reliability testing, correlation, simple linear regression, the coefficient of determination, and significance tests. Field observations revealed unroadworthy equipment, expired safety equipment and access cards, malfunctioning lights and brakes, worn tires, missing company identification, and hydraulic leaks. Supervision had a moderate positive correlation with SOP compliance (r = 0.432; R² = 0.187), accounting for 18.7% of the variation in compliance. The regression test showed a statistically significant association (p = 0.01498871), while operational, maintenance, procurement, budgetary, disciplinary, and enforcement factors were also associated with compliance. AMC supervision should therefore be supported by regular inspections, preventive maintenance, training, digital monitoring, and consistent sanctions.

Study Of Work Procedures In The Airac System At The Aeronautical Information Center

I Wayan Darma Manggala Putra — 2026-06-06

This study aims to assess the time efficiency of the work procedures in the publication of the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) at the Aeronautical Information Service (AIS) of the Indonesian Air Navigation Service Provider Agency. The study was conducted from October 2024 to March 2025 by employing observational methods, open questionnaires, and documentation analysis. Findings indicate that the current publication process utilizes a 28-calendar-day timeframe, which does not accurately reflect the actual working conditions due to limited human resources. The amendment process averages over 100 charts per cycle, peaking at 229 charts, while validation is manually performed by six active personnel. Data submission often surpasses deadlines, shortening processing time. Based on analysis of work stages, interviews, and documentation, an alternative timeframe with an ideal duration of 42 working days (54 calendar days) is proposed. Implementation of this optimization strategy is expected to enhance work efficiency and maintain the quality and sustainability of aeronautical information publication

Identification and Mitigation of Data Errors In Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP)

Ilona Gisela Br. Sibarani — 2026-06-07

Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) is an official publication issued by, or under the authority of, a State containing permanent aeronautical information essential for air navigation. Despite its importance, various data errors are still found, potentially affecting flight safety. This study aims to identify data errors in AIP publications and propose methods to minimize them. A qualitative method with triangulation techniques - observation, interviews, and documentation - was employed during On-the-Job Training (OJT) at the Aeronautical Information Center. The findings reveal that frequent errors include mismatches between text and charts, coordinate inaccuracies, inconsistencies in navigation station names, and discrepancies in effective dates between documents. The primary cause is the manual implementation of the Quality Control (QC) process. As a solution, the study proposes a web-based “Quality Control Monitoring Checklist Form” to enhance accuracy and documentation. The adoption of a digital QC system, along with updates to applicable SOPs, STDs, and technical guidelines, is expected to reduce data errors in AIP publications.
