Abstract

This study compares fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft in terms of flight efficiency, maneuverability, and operational function by addressing the lack of an integrated framework for mission-based aircraft comparison. A systematic literature-based comparative analysis was conducted using aerodynamics textbooks, aviation handbooks, technical references, regulatory documents, and recent scholarly articles. The analysis was structured around three parameters: flight efficiency, including energy consumption, cruising speed, and range; maneuverability, including takeoff and landing capability, hovering, and movement flexibility; and operational function, including mission suitability and operating environment. The findings show that fixed-wing aircraft provide higher cruise efficiency, greater range, and better payload effectiveness because lift is generated through forward motion over fixed airfoils. In contrast, rotary-wing aircraft offer superior maneuverability, vertical takeoff and landing, and hovering capability, making them more suitable for confined-area, emergency, and point-access missions. The novelty of this study lies in its structured analytical matrix, which clarifies the trade-off between cruise efficiency and spatial flexibility. The study concludes that neither aircraft type is universally superior; effectiveness depends on the alignment between aerodynamic characteristics, operational constraints, and mission requirements.

Abstract

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) plays a crucial role in preparing aviation cadets to comprehend technical documents and operate safely in global contexts. This study explores how perceived task characteristics—task relevance, benefit, and challenge—affect cadets' motivation in ESP reading tasks. Utilizing a quantitative-confirmatory design, data were collected from 95 cadets and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that among the three constructs, only task challenge significantly predicted cadet motivation and confidence in reading. Task relevance and benefit, while positively perceived, did not produce statistically significant effects. The results highlight the central role of task difficulty in fostering engagement and persistence among cadets. The validated model underscores the importance of designing reading tasks that are optimally challenging to enhance motivation in high-stakes educational environments. This study provides empirical grounding for curriculum innovation in aviation English and contributes to the theoretical understanding of motivational dynamics in ESP contexts.

Abstract

Procedural compliance is a critical determinant of operational safety in aviation, where deviations from Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) may escalate into serious safety risks. This study examines how organizational safety culture influences SOP compliance among aviation trainees through instructor safety practices and the internalization of safety values. Using the Safety Culture–Compliance Behavior (SCCB) framework, the study integrates organizational, instructional, and psychological perspectives. A cross-sectional survey of 275 aviation trainees was analyzed using reliability testing, correlation analysis, multiple regression, and serial mediation modeling. The results show that organizational safety culture significantly predicts instructor safety practices, instructor practices strongly influence safety internalization, and safety internalization is the strongest predictor of SOP compliance. Serial mediation analysis confirms that safety culture influences compliance primarily through the sequential pathway of instructor practices and safety internalization. These findings highlight the importance of instructor-centered safety leadership and training strategies that foster psychological commitment to safety.

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of a 12-week explicit metacognitive listening intervention on self-regulated learning (SRL), foreign language enjoyment (FLE), and radiotelephony listening performance among 100 second-year aviation cadets at Surabaya Aviation Polytechnic, Indonesia. Using a one-group pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental design, the intervention was fully integrated into the regular Aviation English curriculum and employed authentic radiotelephony materials (LiveATC.net recordings and Mayday simulations) following Vandergrift and Goh’s (2021) pedagogical cycle. Data were collected before and after the intervention via the Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ), Self-Regulated Online Learning Questionnaire–Short Form, a short-form FLE scale, and an ICAO-aligned 30-item listening test. Paired-samples t-tests revealed significant improvements (all ps < .001) with medium-to-large effects on SRL (d = 0.68), large effects on listening performance (d = 0.87), and very large effects on FLE (d = 1.84). The findings provide the first empirical evidence that process-oriented metacognitive instruction can simultaneously enhance cognitive, behavioral, and affective outcomes in safety-critical aviation English contexts and offer direct, low-cost support for ICAO’s latest training recommendations.

Abstract

Air traffic control training requires rapid decision-making, precise communication, and continuous evaluation through simulation. This study explored stress experiences, coping strategies, and professional identity formation among cadets at an Indonesian aviation training institution. Ten cadets participated in semi-structured interviews and non-participant observations. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Five themes were developed: simulation-induced evaluative stress; institutional hierarchy and emotional constriction; coping trajectories and peer-based regulation; gaps in psychological support; and fragile self-efficacy and professional identity. Stress arose from task complexity as well as surveillance, public evaluation, and social comparison. Adaptive coping included reframing, deliberate practice, breathing routines, and peer discussion. Learning-oriented instructor support strengthened confidence, whereas criticism without recovery opportunities reinforced self-doubt. ATC programmes should integrate psychologically safe debriefing, peer mentoring, coping-skills preparation, and confidential counselling pathways into technical training.
