Risk Assessment of Aircraft Refueling Activities at the Indonesian Flight Academy Banyuwangi Using the Bowtie Method and Shell Model Human Factor

Abstract

This study aims to assess the risks involved in aircraft refueling activities at the Indonesian Pilot Academy in Banyuwangi, using the Bowtie method and the SHELL Model Human Factor. The study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach to understand the emerging risks and human factors associated with the activity. Based on the research findings, fire risk emerges as the most dominant. These risks are then analyzed using the Bowtie method and the SHELL Model Human Factor to gain a comprehensive understanding of the causes and consequences of fire risk. Several identified causes of fire risk include non-compliance with procedures, absence of fuel flow measuring devices and fuel drum handling equipment, visual impairment due to sunlight, and inadequate temporary fuel storage conditions. Potential impacts include fire and significant damage to the aircraft. This research makes an important contribution to enhancing safety by providing relevant safety recommendations for aircraft refueling activities at the Indonesian Pilot Academy in Banyuwangi.
