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

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.

Abstract

Burning Hours is the one of  policy in scheduling aircraft maintenance. With the burning hours the operator could performed aircraft maintenance before the due time. Burning Hours is indeed beneficial for flight operators to maintain the stability of the safety of the aircraft operation. Using the quantitative analysis method with the sample data’s from two aircraft, found that the burning hours affects to Burning Hours Cost loss for every aircraft meintenance activity. The value of Burning Hours Cost Loss and Potential Lost per Day needs to be considered by operators in scheduling maintenance activities, because it is possible that Burning Hours cannot be avoided in aircraft operation. Based on the data processing,  the  value of burning hours cost lost is not more than limit of potential lost per day.  However it should also be considered if burning hours applied continuously will increase maintenance cost. Therefore, between maintenance planning department and the operation department should keep good coordination to minimize the burning hours cost loss. Keywords: Planning, Maintenance, Burning Hours
