<![CDATA[This study investigated the use of a Digital Checklist during an Airport Emergency Plan (AEP) tabletop exercise initially involving 20 Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) personnel enrolled in the Initial Junior ARFF Training Program at Politeknik Penerbangan Palembang. The paired pretest–posttest analysis included 17 participants with complete paired data. A one-group pretest–posttest design was used to examine changes in the knowledge component of operational competency, while observations and a user questionnaire were used to assess operational actions and participants’ responses to the Digital Checklist. The pretest and posttest produced the same mean score of 92.35, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed no statistically significant difference between the two measurements (p = 0.891). During the tabletop exercise, however, the recorded operational actions achieved 99.17% of the maximum score. Procedure accuracy, response speed, team coordination, and compliance with standard operating procedures each reached 100%, whereas equipment use reached 88.89%. The questionnaire produced an overall score of 94.01%, with the Digital Checklist use dimension reaching 92.94%. These results show that the Digital Checklist did not lead to a measurable improvement in knowledge scores in this study, but it was useful for organizing emergency-response actions, recording performance, and supporting monitoring and evaluation during the AEP tabletop exercise.]]>
