AIRBUS A320 TRAINER EXTERIOR LIGHTS SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT AS A PRACTICUM LEARNING SUPPORT

Abstract

Good aircraft performance is supported by several systems, namely: avionics, instruments, power plant and others. One of the important systems is the exterior light system which is used as lights that provide the function and use of indications on the aircraft and provide lighting when the aircraft flies at night, and can determine the position of the aircraft while in the air. Therefore, this research aims as material for developing insight and knowledge and skills for cadets of the Surabaya Aviation Polytechnic, especially in the field of exterior light systems to support aircraft safety. This research is based on the results of interviews conducted by researchers with trainees on the exterior light system of the Airbus A 320 to cadets who showed that the average response was very good, which This means that the trainee Traineer for the exterior light system using a miniature Airbus A320 is needed by cadets to support practicum learning. Data analysis was carried out by giving questionnaire form sheets to cadets who participated in the trainer Traineer testing technique. This study also used a miniature Airbus A320 aircraft equipped with LED lights with an Arduino Uno microcontroller which was given a 5v power supply, so as to maximize the performance of the trainees . From the results of the study, the results obtained from a comparison of the values of cadets when using trainees without using influential trainees , where the average value of cadets when learning the exterior lights system without using Traineers is 74.285 while the average value of cadets when learning the exterior lights system using Traineers is 93,095
