Abstract

Aviation in the world has contributed 2.5% of total carbon emissions. The aviation industry is not only dominated by commercial flights with large aircraft (wide body) but there are also many small piston engine aircraft that use 100 low lead Aviation Gasoline (Avgas) fuel. A total of almost 230 thousand piston-engine aircraft are in operation in the world, some of which are operated by flying schools. There are more than 20 pilot schools in Indonesia that operate nearly 250 piston-engine aircraft. This research aims to find out how much carbon emissions are produced by pilot schools in Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative method using secondary data in the form of aircraft production hours. Literature data also calculates the amount of carbon released into the air. This research was carried out at the Indonesian Civil Pilot Academy of Banyuwangi in September 2023. The results of the research show that the Indonesian Pilot Academy Banyuwangi produces more than 450 tonnes of carbon every year and all pilot schools in Indonesia are estimated to contribute 8000 tonnes of CO2 to the air. Several solutions can be used to reduce the increase in carbon in the free air, including carbon taxes, the use of sustainable fuels, and most importantly planting trees.
