PERENCANAAN GROUND RUN-UP ENCLOSURE MENGGUNAKAN APLIKASI SKETCHUP DI BANDAR UDARA EL TARI KUPANG

Kegiatan engine ground run-up merupakan bagian penting dari pelaksanaan pemeliharaan pesawat udara (aircraft maintenance) untuk memastikan kelaikan fungsi mesin sebelum kembali beroperasi. Namun, pelaksanaan engine ground run
up di area yang tidak didesain khusus untuk melaksanakan kegiatan tersebut seperti runway atau apron dapat berpotensi meningkatkan risiko keselamatan penerbangan serta gangguan terhadap operasional bandara. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang fasilitas Ground Run-Up Enclosure (GRE) menggunakan aplikasi SketchUp sebagai solusi untuk mengalihkan kegiatan engine ground run-up dari area runway di Bandar Udara El Tari Kupang. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Research and Development (R&D) dengan pendekatan model ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Hasil rancangan menunjukkan bahwa desain GRE dengan luas 3.300 m² dengan blast deflector
setinggi 8 meter dan panjang 50 meter mampu menampung pesawat ATR 72-600 secara aman, serta dirancang untuk meredam efek propeller wash. Wawancara dengan personel apron movement control (AMC) Bandara El Tari Kupang
menunjukkan bahwa desain ini dinilai mendukung peningkatan keselamatan, efisiensi operasional, serta mengurangi risiko bahaya foreign object debris (FOD). Penelitian ini diharapkan menjadi referensi dalam pengembangan fasilitas
pendukung keselamatan penerbangan di bandara Indonesia khususnya Indonesia bagian timur.

============================================================
Engine ground run-up activities are a crucial part of aircraft maintenance to ensure engine functionality and airworthiness before the aircraft returns to operation.
However, conducting engine ground run-ups in areas not specifically designed for such activities—such as runways or aprons—can pose increased safety risks and disrupt airport operations. This study aims to design a Ground Run-Up Enclosure (GRE) facility using the SketchUp application as a solution to relocate engine ground run-up activities away from the runway area at El Tari Airport, Kupang.
The research method used is Research and Development (R&D), employing the ADDIE model approach (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The design results indicate that a GRE with an area of 3,300 m²,
equipped with a blast deflector measuring 8 meters in height and 50 meters in length, can safely accommodate ATR 72-600 aircraft and is specifically designed to mitigate the effects of propeller wash. Interviews with Apron Movement Control (AMC) personnel at El Tari Airport revealed that the design is considered supportive of enhanced safety, operational efficiency, and reduction of foreign
object debris (FOD) hazards. This study is expected to serve as a reference for the development of aviation safety support facilities at Indonesian airports, particularly in eastern Indonesia.
