Pengaruh Kelebihan Berat Badan Terhadap Mobilitas Taruna Di Dalam Cockpit Cessna 172 SP Pada Praktik Terbang

Fahrian Tri Ardiyanto — 2025-03-21

This study aims to analyze the impact of being overweight on cadets' mobility within the cockpit of the Cessna 172 SP aircraft during flight practice. The background of this research is the concern that being overweight may reduce the comfort and ability of cadets to operate aircraft instruments and controls, ultimately affecting flight safety. This research employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to cadets of the Indonesian Aviation Academy Banyuwangi who practiced flying with the Cessna 172 SP aircraft. Data analysis was conducted using validity, reliability, and regression tests. The results indicate that being overweight has a significant impact on cadet mobility within the cockpit. Overweight cadets experience limitations in movement space, comfort, and the efficiency of operating aircraft instruments. These findings support the hypothesis that being overweight can affect cadet performance in the cockpit environment. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that aviation training institutions consider the health and fitness aspects of cadets as part of their training programs. Therefore, appropriate health and fitness standards can be established to ensure safety and efficiency in flight operations.

Jenis Dan Peran Pentingnya Alat Pemadam Api Ringan Di Pesawat Boeing 737- 400 Dalam Keadaan Darurat

Damara Zerlina Putri Elysia — 2025-03-21

Light fire extinguishers are important for maintaining the safety of passengers and crew during flights, especially on commercial aircraft such as the Boeing 737-400. This research aims to analyze the types and important roles of Portable Fire Extinguishers (PFE) available on the Boeing 737-400 aircraft in fire emergency situations. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach on the Boeing 737-400 aircraft. Data were obtained through literature study and field observation. The research results show that on the Boeing 737-400 aircraft, lightweight fire extinguishers are used with dry chemicals or gases suitable for the conditions on the aircraft. Both types of equipment are effective in extinguishing fires without endangering passengers, cabin crew, and surrounding electronic equipment. Various types of extinguishing agents and spray systems can enhance the efficiency of lightweight fire extinguishers in the air. This research is expected to make flights safer by protecting passengers, crew members, and aircraft from fire risks, and also for airlines to enhance routine training for cabin crew on the use of portable fire extinguishers in various fire scenarios.

Pentingnya Penggunaan Masker Oksigen Pada Pesawat Boeing 737- 400 Saat Keadaan Darurat

The oxygen mask system on an aircraft is one of the important elements in maintaining the safety of passengers and crew in emergency situations, especially when there is a loss of cabin pressure. This study aims to examine the effectiveness and working mechanism of the oxygen mask system on classic Boeing aircraft, namely the Boeing 737-300, 737-400, and 737-500, during an emergency. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and literature studies. The results of this oxygen mask system study involved various units on the aircraft, including the Passenger Service Unit (PSU), Restroom Service Unit (LSU), and Attendant Service Unit (ASU). Oxygen in the aircraft is supplied from a cylinder through a pressure regulator, and the oxygen mask is automatically released when the cabin pressure drops below a certain threshold. In addition, the oxygen system can also be activated manually by the flight crew. One of the challenges is passenger confusion regarding the correct use of oxygen masks. This study also examines applicable safety regulations as set by the FAA and ICAO, to ensure that the oxygen system functions optimally in an emergency. The study also provides recommendations to improve routine training for cabin crew in handling oxygen mask systems and other safety procedures.

Pengaruh Hydroplaning Terhadap Kinerja Performa Boeing 737

Hydroplaning is one of the causes of aircraft accidents during takeoff or landing. This study aims to examine the phenomenon of hydroplaning on the performance of the Boeing 737 aircraft, especially during takeoff and landing. Hydroplaning occurs when the air layer on the runway reduces friction between the aircraft wheels and the runway surface, which can disrupt stability and increase the aircraft's stopping distance. The research approach in this study uses a qualitative approach and the analysis used is a literature study from indexed scientific journals, textbooks, research reports, and other reliable sources. The results of this study, this study states that hydroplaning has a high effect on the performance of the Boeing 737 aircraft, especially when landing on a wet runway. Hydroplaning can reduce the effectiveness of aircraft braking and increase stopping distance substantially. Therefore, it is important to consider the air thickness factor and ensure speed control procedure to reduce the risk of hydroplaning. As well as the shape of the tire threads which can also reduce the height when landing or taking off

Analisis Dinamika Performa Engine Turbofan Pada Boeing 737- 300 Dalam Kondisi Idle Hingga Take-Off

Rifan Satria Rizki — 2025-03-21

This article discusses the performance analysis of the CFM56-3-B1 turbofan engine used on the Boeing 737-300 aircraft under various operational conditions. This study was conducted to understand the engine performance under different flight conditions, such as minimum idle, approach idle, maximum continuous, and take off. This study was conducted using a qualitative method using a descriptive approach and literature study. The results of the analysis prove that the performance of the fan, booster, and high-pressure compressor (HPC) is higher than its ideal value due to compressor imbalance and leakage that causes an increase in compression temperature. Furthermore, it was found that during the take-off process the thermal efficiency became high with an actual efficiency of 37%, but still lower than the ideal efficiency of 47%, which was caused by material friction and environmental factors. While the maximum thrust was achieved thanks to the combination of hot and cold nozzle designs. The conclusion shows that engine efficiency is affected by material friction and environmental conditions, which have an impact on reducing thermal efficiency by 9.59%. Suggestions are given to improve thermal efficiency and thrust by optimizing airflow and engine cooling.
