Abstract

Instalasi doubler dinyatakan aman di bawah Structural Repair Manual (SRM). Namun kemampuan menahan beban siklik tidak disebutkan secara eksplisit dalam SRM. Pembebanan siklik dapat menyebabkan kegagalan yang berhubungan dengan kelelahan. Penelitian ini didasarkan pada asumsi mekanika retak mode pembebanan II, dan analisis laju pertumbuhan retak dan siklus kelelahan dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode numerik MVCCI. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai laju pertumbuhan retakan terendah adalah panjang retakan 8,5 mm pada kondisi terbang 5000 ft, yaitu 5,045×10-14 mm/siklus, dan nilai tertinggi adalah panjang retakan 51 mm. Pada kondisi penerbangan 40.000 kaki, ini akan menjadi 1,762×10-10 mm/siklus.

Abstract

Engine failure is a condition where the engine operates outside normal conditions. One of the abnormal conditions that occurs can be caused by a fault that occurs in each engine module. Engine module is one of the components on an aircraft that functions for supports the aircraft to fly and controls all engine operations, wether on the ground and during flight. The problem can occur in each engine module at any time causing engine failure. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out further analysis to determine the cause of the failure that occurred, as well as to implement appropriate mitigation measures. The method used is the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) method, which is a method for identifying risks that contribute to failure and determining failure probability. From the analysis using the qualitative fault tree analysis method 71 events were obtained with 35 basic events. Meanwhile, the quantitative analysis produces a cumulative probability failure of 0.747. The probability value has almost reached 1, therefore preventive maintenance has to be carried out to prevent functional failure.

Abstract

The advancement of aviation technology and growing airspace demand have introduced the Higher Airspace Operation (HAO) concept, which manages airspace above FL550 (55,000 feet). Globally, regions like the United States and the European Union are developing regulatory and technological systems to integrate HAO into existing air traffic management. In contrast, Indonesia’s readiness remains limited due to the lack of specific regulations, infrastructure, and surveillance capabilities. This study assesses Indonesia’s preparedness to adopt HAO through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and expert interviews. Findings indicate the need for adaptive policies aligned with technological progress, improved communication, navigation, and surveillance systems, and comprehensive legal frameworks to support emerging airspace vehicles such as High-Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS), suborbital aircraft, and reentry vehicles. The research also proposes a dynamic, collaborative operational model suited to Indonesia’s unique geographical conditions and institutional environment.

Abstract

The Engine Bleed Air system is one of the primary systems in an aircraft and Its components include the Pressure Regulating Shutoff Valve (PRSOV), Bleed Air Regulator (BAR), High Stage Valve (HSV), High Stage Regulator (HSR), Precooler Control Valve (PCCV), and PCCV sensors 390 and 450. Any malfunction in these components can directly impact aircraft safety and flight operations. This research analyzes the performance failures of the system in regulating the temperature and pressure distributed by the bleed air system, particularly focusing on engine bleed trips. This study aims to determine the percentage of necessary component replacements in the air bleed engine system using the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) method. Primary data is collected from aircraft maintenance databases and interviews. The percentage of main component replacements needed are: thermostat sensor 390 (42.3%), Precooler Control Valve (19.2%), Pressure Regulating Shutoff Valve (11.5%), and Bleed Air Regulator (7.7%). The remaining components account for the other percentages.

Abstract

This research examines the vibration characteristics of the EFT-E610P type agricultural drone through flight tests and modal analysis. It aims to identify and analyze vibration properties like amplitude deviation, period, frequency, and waveform in the drone's mechanical system to ensure flight stability and safety. The study collects real-time vibration data using accelerometer sensors, processes it using Fourier transform, and interprets the main vibration features. Results show that the vibration parameters remain within a reasonable range corresponding to the drone’s natural structural properties, with no signs of instability or harmful oscillations. Amplitude fluctuations and dominant frequency shifts indicate the drone’s dynamic response to speed and structural changes but remain stable. The study concludes that the EFT-E610P drone exhibits normal vibration behavior during tests, with no negative impact on flight performance or safety, supporting its effective operation.

Abstract

In aerial photography, the use of camera systems integrated with GPS signals is crucial for determining the position and velocity of an aircraft or drone. The Portable On-Demand (POD) serves as a payload container for equipment such as cameras, and the POD material can influence GPS signal quality. This study aims to evaluate the quality of received GPS signals and to assess the effect of camera distance on GPS performance. Experimental tests were conducted using three POD material types (original, E-glass, and carbon) and two GPS systems (Emlid Reach and Pixhawk). The results indicate that the E-glass POD provides the best performance, achieving signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values above 45 dB and a PDOP value of 1.7. Additionally, the E-glass POD detected up to 34 satellites at a camera distance of 0 cm. In contrast, the original and carbon PODs exhibited inferior performance, including occurrences of a “No Solution” status. Therefore, the E-glass POD is more reliable in maintaining GPS signal quality and positioning accuracy for aerial photography missions.

Abstract

The Airbus A320 has two main engines and an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) that generate high-temperature, high-pressure bleed air used for cabin cooling, anti-icing, and pressurization. Two temperature sensors, Fire Loop A and Fire Loop B, monitor the bleed air distribution line for hot air leaks. An Air Bleed Maintenance Message signals a malfunction in these fire protection loops and requires quick maintenance to avoid system failure. Leaks, especially near the wing and fuel tank, pose significant hazards. This study uses Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) to find the root causes of this message. The main causes identified are damaged interconnecting cables, failure in the Bleed Monitoring Computer (BMC), and faults in Fire Loop A or B. The FTA diagram helps technicians trace each component's role in the failure, aiding efficient inspection and maintenance. This method aims to boost system reliability and improve flight safety.

Abstract

Boeing 737-900 ER maintenance in Indonesia emphasizes timely, efficient routines to minimize risks. Using the Critical Path Method (CPM), the analysis calculates the Turn Around Time (TAT) for C05-Check maintenance. The CPM results estimate a TAT of 20.47 days (rounded to 20 days), while the company's data shows 21.73 days (rounded to 22 days), indicating a 2-day difference. This discrepancy highlights potential areas for improving maintenance efficiency. The TAT efficiency for the maintenance process is calculated at 0.057%. Optimizing mechanic workload based on this analysis can enhance turnaround times and ensure aircraft safety and operational scheduling. Accurate TAT predictions are vital for balancing maintenance quality with airline efficiency, making CPM a valuable tool in operational planning and resource allocation. Continued comparison with company data ensures maintenance practices remain precise, reducing unexpected delays and maintaining flight safety standards.
