From Safety Culture to Procedural Discipline: A Multistage Model of Compliance Behavior in Aviation Training Environments

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:45:18 +0700

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.

Performance Analysis of IMC Module in OTE DT100 VHF Radio Based on Required Communication Performance Standards

Communication between Air Traffic Controllers and pilots is essential to ensure flight safety and operational efficiency. Very High Frequency (VHF) communication systems support reliable air-to-ground communication, with the Interface and Management Card (IMC) module responsible for managing automatic change-over between main and standby transmitters. This study evaluates the performance of the IMC module in relation to Required Communication Performance (RCP) standards and examines the impact of IMC failure on communication continuity and availability. The research employed a mixed-method approach, combining field observations during On-the-Job Training at Minangkabau International Airport, interviews with technicians, and analysis of equipment failure records. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis, while quantitative evaluation focused on system downtime and response time. The results show that IMC malfunction significantly reduces system continuity and availability, potentially compromising compliance with RCP 10 and RCP 60 requirements. Recommendations are proposed to improve IMC reliability and preventive maintenance practices.

This study develops and evaluates a structured assessment model integrating the ADDIE instructional design framework with competency-based evaluation to improve student pilot performance measurement. The research applies a research and development approach involving design validation, limited trials, and implementation in flight training. The proposed model, SIM-FLIGHT, assesses both technical and non-technical competencies, including flight performance, safety awareness, and decision-making skills. Data were collected using validated assessment instruments and analyzed through pretest–post-test comparison, N-Gain analysis, and statistical testing. The results indicate a significant improvement in overall student performance, particularly in non-technical competencies, demonstrating the effectiveness of a systematic and measurable evaluation framework. The findings suggest that integrating structured instructional design with competency-based assessment enhances objectivity, feedback quality, and training outcomes in aviation education.

Barriers and Challenges in Implementing The State Safety Programme in Indonesia's Aviation Sector

Indonesia is obligated to implement the State Safety Programme (SSP) through the National Aviation Safety Program (PKPN), governed by Ministry of Transportation Regulation No. PM 93 of 2016. Despite this regulatory foundation, PKPN implementation within the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DJPU) faces significant structural, resource, and institutional barriers. This qualitative descriptive study employs Van Meter and Van Horn's policy implementation model to examine implementation challenges across six dimensions: policy standards and objectives, resources, implementing agency characteristics, communication patterns, implementer dispositions, and external environmental conditions. Findings reveal that policy objectives lack clear outcome-based definitions; human resources, IT infrastructure, and budgetary allocations are insufficient; organizational structure remains ad hoc rather than permanent; communication channels are predominantly informal; and implementer understanding of PKPN is uneven. While operator-level support is relatively adequate, higher-level political commitment is incomplete. The study concludes that PKPN implementation remains suboptimal and requires institutional strengthening through permanent organizational restructuring, enhanced resource allocation, improved inter-agency communication, and closer alignment with ICAO's Eight Critical Elements (CE) framework.

Integrating Pedagogical Competence and Industrial Training to Improve Graduate Quality in Aviation Vocational Education

Vocational aviation education must deliver graduates whose competencies match strict regulatory and industry standards amid fast technological change. This study investigates how lecturer competence and industrial training jointly influence graduate quality in Indonesian state aviation polytechnics, and whether the learning process mediates these relationships. Using a quantitative ex-post facto design, we surveyed 274 final-year students from seven state aviation polytechnics selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. A structured questionnaire measured lecturer competence, industrial training, learning process, and perceived graduate quality. Data were analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in SmartPLS 4.0 to assess measurement validity and reliability, estimate direct and indirect effects, and evaluate model fit and predictive performance via path coefficients, R², Q², and the standardized root mean square residual (SRMR). The findings show that both lecturer competence and industrial training exert significant direct effects on graduate quality. The learning process is a strong predictor of graduate outcomes and partially mediates the effects of lecturer competence and industrial training, indicating that effective pedagogy and well-designed workplace learning reinforce each other. These results support integrating pedagogical development with industry-based learning strategies to strengthen graduate quality in aviation vocational education. Policymakers should align curricula, assessment, and partnership governance.
