Every air traveler needs to understand the importance of dangerous goods. By understanding the nature and risks of these items, precautions can be taken to prevent accidents and ensure safe travel for all. In practice, numerous passengers have experienced delays at security checkpoints due to carrying prohibited or restricted items such as lighters, sharp tools like scissors, aerosols, and high-capacity power banks. These incidents not only disrupt airport operations but also highlight gaps in public awareness regarding aviation safety regulations.This study aims to examine the influence of knowledge about dangerous goods on flight safety, with a focus on passengers traveling through El-Tari Airport in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. A quantitative research method was employed by distributing 100 structured questionnaires to respondents using purposive sampling, targeting passengers with prior flight experience. Data analysis techniques included simple linear regression, T-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²) to assess the relationship between knowledge levels and safety behavior. The findings show that knowledge about dangerous goods (variable X) significantly influences passenger safety behavior (variable Y), evidenced by a p-value of 0.000. This indicates a strong and positive correlation, where better knowledge leads to more responsible behavior during air travel. The R-square value of 0.530 suggests that 53% of variations in safety behavior can be explained by knowledge, while the remaining 47% may be influenced by other factors such as attitudes, past experiences, signage visibility, and staff communication.These findings underscore the urgent need for intensified public education efforts at airports through visual campaigns, digital information, and pre-flight reminders. Improving passenger knowledge about dangerous goods can significantly enhance overall flight safety and reduce the risk of delays or violations. Future research could explore the role of demographic factors or the effectiveness of current educational strategies.

Efficient management of aircraft parking stands is a critical element in maintaining flight safety at airports. As air traffic increases, the coordination and performance of the Apron Movement Control (AMC) team play a vital role in assigning parking positions to prevent operational delays and potential hazards. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the AMC team in managing parking stands at Yogyakarta International Airport using a descriptive qualitative approach. The assessment was based on five indicators proposed by Robbins & Judge: work quality, work quantity, timeliness, effectiveness, and independence. Data were collected through direct observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation analysis. The findings indicate that the AMC team consistently performs its duties in accordance with established procedures, responds effectively to sudden operational changes, and demonstrates independent decision-making capabilities. These results highlight the crucial role of the AMC team in ensuring the safe movement of aircraft on the apron. However, challenges such as limited staffing and unanticipated schedule changes still require attention to improve overall operational efficiency.

Increased activity in the airside area, especially on the apron, causes the emergence of foreign objects such as gravel and oil spills that can disrupt flight safety. Apron Movement Control (AMC) plays a crucial role in regulating aircraft traffic, monitoring the apron area, and maintaining cleanliness from Foreign Object Debris (FOD). This study aims to evaluate the effect of AMC performance in FOD supervision on flight safety at Sentani International Airport. The method used is a quantitative approach with a saturated sampling technique, involving airside officers from airlines, Ground Handling (GH), Ground Support Equipment (GSE), and Marshallers. Data were collected through a closed questionnaire with a 4-point Likert scale and analyzed using validity, reliability, simple linear regression, T-test, and coefficient of determination. The results of the analysis show that AMC performance has a positive and significant effect on flight safety, with a significance value of the T test <0.05. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.916 indicates that AMC contributes 91.6% to flight safety, while the rest is influenced by other factors. This finding emphasizes the importance of improving the professionalism and effectiveness of AMC officers' performance.

The importance of calculating weight and balance on an aircraft to support flight safety is something that must be done by service providers. Mistakes in calculating weight distribution can cause overloads that risk endangering the safety of passengers, crew, and the aircraft itself. This study was conducted at AirAsia Airlines with a focus on the Airbus A320 aircraft at Husein Sastranegara Airport, Bandung. The study used a quantitative method with primary and secondary data collection. Primary data was collected through direct observation in the field, while secondary data was obtained from documents, journals, and related literature. This study analyzed data related to aircraft weight, fuel, passengers, baggage, and cargo to calculate weight and balance on the loadsheet. The results of this study indicate that calculating weight and balance on loadsheets is an important process in ensuring flight safety. Steps involving calculating the weight of passengers, baggage, cargo, fuel, and the distribution of the aircraft's center of gravity ensure that the aircraft operates within the safe limits set by the manufacturer. Based on the analysis of passenger, baggage, cargo, and fuel data, the Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) was 60,516 kg, Takeoff Weight (TOW) was 67,516 kg, and Landing Weight (LW) was 62,516 kg. All of these parameters are within the specified safe limits. Load management on an Air Asia A320 aircraft when overloading requires special attention to parameters such as Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW), Maximum Landing Weight (MLW), and Maximum Landing Weight (MZFW). If an overload occurs, as recorded on the fourth day in Hold 5, the solution that can be taken is to reduce the cargo load on that Hold. For the situation on the fifth day, where the Landing Weight (LW) exceeds the MTOW, the right step is to reduce the amount of fuel.
