Enhancing Data Verification and Validation Systems to Improve the Accuracy of Indonesian Aeronautical Information Publication

Abstract

The Indonesian  Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) is an official document containing essential aeronautical information for the safety and efficiency of flight operations. However, in its implementation, data discrepancies are still found, especially in AIP Volume I (General and En-Route), which can impact the safety and accuracy of information for users. This study aims to analyze weaknesses in the current data verification and validation system and to formulate strategies to strengthen the system, thereby improving the accuracy of AIP data. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach at the Aeronautical Information Management Unit. Data were collected through interviews, direct observation, and related document studies. The results of the study indicate that the current data verification and validation process has not been fully documented, remains manual, and lacks a multi-layered supervision system. This research opens up the possibility of human error and delays in data updates. Recommended strengthening efforts include the implementation of a digitalization system, the formation of more structured SOPs, and improving personnel competency through ongoing training. With the strengthening of the data verification and validation system, it is hoped that the accuracy of information on the Indonesian AIP can be maintained and support the creation of safe, efficient, and reliable flight navigation services
