Aviation is subject to risks that emerge from all activities correlated with flight operations. Indonesian Aviation Academy Banyuwangi as an educational institution that participating in such activities, it is susceptible to various risks, ranging from the minor to the major risks. The marshaling activity is one of the crucial flight activities conducted by cadets of the Indonesian Civil Pilot Academy of Banyuwangi. This activity can be hazardous if not conducted properly and in compliance with the procedures. This research aims to determine the risks of marshaling activities at the Indonesian Civil Pilot Academy of Banyuwangi and propose effective mitigation strategies. The qualitative methodology was chosen in this research utilizing three stages of data collection techniques: observation, literature study, and interviews. The research results show that three primary risks occur in marshaling activities at the Indonesian Civil Pilot Academy of Banyuwangi, in particular, not using earplugs, not using safety vests and unclear parking markings. These three risks attributed to a lack of accountability, the absence of standard operating procedures, and insufficient provision of necessary equipment by the organization.

This research examines the importance of Human Resource (HR) competencies in the rapidly growing aviation industry in Indonesia, highlighting the need for improved flight services and operations. HR competencies encompassing knowledge, skills, attitudes and personal values are needed, with a focus on HR management functions vital to operational success. The research found that the market demand for vocational college graduates is high, especially for those with relevant licenses and certifications. Stakeholder satisfaction with the performance and quality of graduates is high, determined by the relevance of the curriculum, quality of training, and field work experience. Minimum expected skill standards include communication skills, critical thinking, leadership, safety awareness and interpersonal skills. Recommendations include aligning the curriculum with industry needs, developing soft skills, and integrating the latest technology in learning to prepare graduates for the challenges of the aviation industry.

This study aims to validate an instrument to assess interest in the airport profession
among XII-grade high school students using the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA)
approach. This research is important to assist educational institutions and the
aviation industry in identifying the interests and potential of students suitable for a
career in airports, especially during the transition from education to the world of
work. Through EFA, this study identified the factors underlying students' interest
in the airport personnel profession by distributing questionnaires to 94 12th-grade
high school students. Findings from factor analysis showed several key dimensions
of interest, such as skills, training, career development, and interest in the airport
work environment. The results of this study provide a new understanding of the
factors of interest in a career in the aviation sector and produce a valid assessment
instrument to assess the interest readiness of high school students interested in a
career as airport personnel.

Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis for Fire Patrol Helicopters Selection Using AHP-Entropy-TOPSIS

Ready Kresna Nanda Suprapto, Andri Dwi Setiawan — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 22:03:39 +0700

Forest fires pose a significant threat both locally and globally, with indirect impacts including global air pollution and human health issues. Aerial patrols using helicopters are a crucial measure in wildfire management. However, selecting the appropriate helicopter model involves multiple factors. Poor decision-making can lead to increased operational costs, accidents, and mission failure. To address this, operators must choose the most suitable helicopter for fire patrol operations. This study aims to enhance the decision-making process by integrating subjective and objective weighting methods in Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). Subjective weights are determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), while objective weights are derived from the Entropy method. The Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is applied to identify the optimal helicopter model. By analyzing the combined weighting results, this study provides a robust decision-support tool, ensuring the selection of the most efficient and effective helicopter for wildfire patrols.

Incident Analysis and Standardisation of Mountainous Flight Competency for Improving Flight Safety in Indonesia

Megi Hudi Helmiadi, Wisnu Aji Nugroho, Mileniawan Januar Ramadhani — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 22:05:45 +0700

Safety aspect of mountain flight in Indonesia has become main concern in recent decades, specifically as it caused several casualties each year. To mitigate this risk, in-depth understanding is required, especially related to factors that contributes to flight safety in mountainous area. Despite its urgency, to the best of authors’ knowledge, there is lack of study related to flight safety and standardisation for training program and flight crew for mountainous flight in Indonesia, even in Southeast Asia. Therefore, this work discusses the analysis of mountain flight incident occurred in Indonesia, especially in Papua. Moreover, the initiation and development of the first mountainous flight training in Indonesia is proposed to solve this issue, which will be established in Aviation Polytechnic of Jayapura, a government-based training organization for aviation personnel that could represent the mountainous flight environment for training purpose.

Cabin Fire Risks of Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft: Comparative Analysis and Safety Implications

Liquid hydrogen (LH2) is being developed as an alternative aircraft fuel to support the decarbonisation of aviation. Although free of carbon emissions upon combustion, LH2 poses safety challenges, particularly in the confined environment of aircraft cabins. This study aims to identify potential fire hazards due to leakage and use of LH2 through a literature-based comparative analysis of kerosene. The study results show that LH2 has a wide flammability range, low ignition energy, and almost invisible flame, making early detection difficult. Cryogenic properties, explosive potential (BLEVE) and rapid gas dispersion also add to the risk. Therefore, the integration of LH2 in aircraft requires specialised detection systems, adequate cabin ventilation design and updated safety standards to suit the unique characteristics of liquid hydrogen.
