Abstract

The development of electronic technology as a control system has progressed rapidly in the era of society 5.0. Various facilities at the airport have implemented microcontrollers, especially bird repellent devices, to realize the concept of a smart airport. Bird repellent devices are designed to automatically and efficiently repel birds. This is because birds pose a threat to increasing the risk of bird strikes, which can cause damage to aircraft engines and trigger flight accidents. When designing bird repellent devices, researchers must consider the design, sensors, and power supply to enhance the effectiveness of the tool when applied in the field. This article will review the factors that influence the effectiveness of bird repellent devices, namely: design, sensors, and power supply, in a literature review. The purpose of this writing is to build a hypothesis of the influence of the design, sensor, and power supply used in the design of bird repellent devices so that it can be used as a reference in further research. The results of this literature review article are: 1) the design affects the bird repellent; 2) the sensor affects the bird repellent; and 3) the power supply affects the bird repellent.

Abstract

Airports, as the main gateway to air transportation in Indonesia, are increasingly expected to implement environmentally friendly practices, one of which includes the use of electric vehicles to support operational activities. This research aims to design the technical specifications of an electric bicycle as a tool for operational maintenance at airport facilities. The method employed is Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE model, supported by a literature review and simulation using SolidWorks 2021. The bicycle is designed with a simple, mild steel frame, a 350-watt BLDC motor, and a 48V 15Ah lithium-ion battery, with a payload capacity of up to 100 kg. Structural analysis using the Finite Element Method (FEM) shows that the design is structurally safe, with Von Mises stress and strain values remaining below the material's yield strength. The safety factor also indicates high structural reliability. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of FEM-based structural design with airport-specific operational requirements, thereby filling a gap in prior research that has primarily focused on general e-bike performance without consideration for the specific context of airport maintenance. With an estimated construction cost of IDR 8 million, the design presents a low-emission, cost-effective solution to support sustainable airport operations.

Abstract

Ideally, an international terminal should have additional inspection procedures, including immigration, customs, and health checks, while providing excellent service to passengers from various countries. Currently, at Terminal 2 of Juanda International Airport, immigration autogates are only available at gates 6–8, while gates 1–5, which were previously used for domestic flights, are not yet equipped with immigration facilities. This study aims to identify the passenger boarding process and determine the appropriate placement layout for immigration autogates at the former domestic gates in Terminal 2 of Juanda International Airport Surabaya. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews with informants, and documentation. Data analysis techniques included data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The findings indicate that boarding time at gates 1–5 reaches 20 minutes and is not friendly to vulnerable groups. The location of immigration autogates at gates 6–8 prolongs the boarding process and requires shuttle bus services to the aircraft parking area. Ideally, immigration autogates should be placed at the junction in front of gates 1–5, reducing boarding time to 5–10 minutes. In conclusion, the passenger boarding flow at gates 1–5 of Terminal 2 at Juanda International Airport Surabaya is not yet optimal, and immigration autogates should be placed at the junction near the waiting rooms for gates 1–5.

Abstract

Low proficiency in technical English, especially radiotelephony communication, remains a major challenge among aviation cadets. This skill is a core requirement for Apron Movement Control (AMC) officers to ensure effective and safe ground operations. This study aims to examine the effect of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach on improving AMC cadets’ Aviation English competence. A quantitative approach with a one–group pretest–posttest design was employed. The participants consisted of 48 cadets from class MBU 03 at the Palembang Aviation Polytechnic. Data were collected through pretest and posttest assessments and analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and the Paired Sample T-test. The findings revealed a significant improvement in cadets’ competence, as indicated by an increase in the mean score from 215.52 (pretest) to 435.83 (posttest). The correlation test (r = 0.721; sig = 0.000) and the t-test (sig = 0.000 < 0.05) confirmed a statistically significant effect of CTL implementation. The results demonstrate that the CTL approach effectively enhances Aviation English competence by linking instructional materials with authentic operational contexts. This study introduces an innovative integration of CTL in Aviation English learning for AMC operations, offering a contextualized and industry-relevant model for vocational aviation education.

Abstract

This research analyzes the effectiveness of information media related to prohibited items in enhancing the operational efficiency of the Passenger Security Check Point (PSCP) at Terminal 2, Juanda International Airport. The frequent confiscation of items such as liquids, lighters, and scissors, along with the occurrence of long queues, reflects passengers’ limited awareness of carry-on baggage restrictions. The study aims to analyze the strategic placement and effectiveness of information media in improving passenger awareness of security procedures. Using a qualitative method through observations, interviews with Aviation Security personnel and passengers, and field documentation, the study found that the current information media such as posters and digital boards, are placed in non-strategic locations and are therefore ineffective in delivering key messages to passengers. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on evaluating information media placement and its direct impact on the efficiency of PSCP operations. The findings are expected to contribute to improving airport security communication strategies using strategically placed and multilingual digital media, thereby reducing prohibited items and streamlining the security screening process.

Abstract

Emergency Response Planning (ERP) is a comprehensive framework developed and periodically evaluated by airport operators to address potential threats that may affect aviation safety and operational continuity. However, conventional training methods still limit personnel’s access to updated learning resources. This study aims to develop the Fire Class website as a digital learning platform that provides structured ERP training materials to improve the training effectiveness of Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) personnel. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, consisting of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Quantitative data were analyzed through expert validation and user assessments. The results show that the Fire Class website achieved a “Highly Feasible” category with an expert evaluation score of 93.3% and a user satisfaction score of 90.8%, indicating strong acceptance and usability. These findings confirm that web-based learning media are effective in enhancing training accessibility, flexibility, and engagement for ARFF personnel. The Fire Class website contributes to the digital transformation of aviation safety education by providing an adaptive, cost-efficient, and scalable model for continuous professional development.

Abstract

Based on observations at Adi Soemarmo Airport Boyolali, several apron markings were found to have faded or overlapped, particularly in areas that have undergone layout changes due to terminal development. These conditions reduce the visibility of the markings, potentially posing safety risks in the operation of aircraft and Ground Support Equipment (GSE) vehicles.  This study aims to analyze the conformity of apron markings at Adi Soemarmo Airport with the technical provisions stipulated in the Minister of Transportation Regulation No. 21 of 2023.  A qualitative descriptive method was applied through direct field observation, photographic documentation, comparison with regulatory specifications, and consultation with Apron Movement Control (AMC) officers to verify operational implications and maintenance practices. The results show that several marking elements, particularly stand boundaries, lead-in/lead-out lines, and equipment parking indications, do not fully meet visibility and standardization criteria as required by regulation, mainly due to color fading and misalignment from overlapping paint layers. These deficiencies reduce the effectiveness of the apron as a navigational aid and may elevate operational risk during peak activity. The novelty of this study lies in employing a regulatory compliance-based assessment specifically referencing PR 21 of 2023, which has not been explicitly adopted in previous apron marking evaluations. The findings contribute both theoretically, by demonstrating apron marking conformity as a measurable safety indicator, and practically, by offering evidence-based recommendations to strengthen AMC supervision and maintenance planning for airside safety enhancement.

Abstract

Airfield Lighting (AFL) systems play a crucial role in ensuring safe aircraft operations, particularly during low visibility, night operations, and adverse weather conditions; however, at Radin Inten II Lampung Airport, inspections are still conducted manually, relying on visual observation that often leads to delays in detecting lamp failures, longer maintenance times, and increased operational costs. This study aims to design and develop a prototype of an IoT-based Airfield Lighting On/Off Monitoring System (ALMOS) capable of real-time monitoring of AFL lamp status to improve maintenance efficiency and reliability. Using the Research and Development (R&D) method with a simplified Borg and Gall model, the prototype integrates the ACS712-30A current sensor to detect electrical flow, the Arduino Uno ATMega328P for initial data processing, and the Power Line Carrier Communication (PLCC) KQ330 module as a medium for transmitting data through existing power lines, while the ESP32 microcontroller receives and displays the data on a web-based monitoring interface. The experimental results show that ALMOS accurately detects current variations corresponding to on/off conditions and transmits data stably via PLCC and Wi-Fi networks, proving its effectiveness in real-time monitoring. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of IoT and PLCC technologies to simulate advanced systems like AGLAS into a simpler, low-cost, and educational prototype. This study contributes to airport engineering technology by providing a scalable reference model for developing automated AFL monitoring systems that enhance operational efficiency, minimize manual inspections, and serve as a practical learning medium for aviation technology students.
