Impact of Noise on the Effectiveness of Flight Traffic Services

Abstract

This study aims to determine how noise affects the effectiveness of flight traffic services at Perum LPPNPI Cirebon Sub-Branch Office. The method used in this study is a qualitative one by taking three samples a day using the Sound Meter application on Android at the Menara Perum LPPNPI Cirebon Sub-Branch Office. The results of this study showed that the noise level in the control tower room had exceeded the threshold indicated both in general review based on the Decree of the Minister of Environment No. 48 of 1996 and specifically reviewed based on the book Human Factor in Air Traffic Control by V. David Hopkin in 1982. One of the reasons is the position of the tower building, which is close to the highway and adjacent to the motorcycle workshop. Based on these findings, it is recommended to install silencers, use headsets when communicating, and educate the motorcycle racing community about noise reduction
