Abstract

Rahadi Oesman Airport is one of the airports in West Kalimantan, which is managed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. The airport with runway dimensions of 1400 meters x 30 meters and has a flexible pavement type has not been equipped with RESA safety instruments at the end of the runway threshold 35. In order to prevent the risk of damage to aircraft experiencing overrunning and overshooting and to meet safety recommendations and operational standards, RESA planning was carried out at threshold 35 of Rahadi Oesman Airport. This planning is based on aviation safety and security standards contained in PR 21 of 2023 and Annex 14. Therefore, the planning will pay attention to the feasibility assessment including the dimensions, slope, and surface of the RESA. These factors will be used to obtain the results of excavation and embankment calculations with the help of PCLP, AutoCAD, and Microsoft Excel applications. RESA at threshold 35 of Rahadi Oesman Airport will be planned with dimensions of 90 meters x 60 meters and a transverse slope percentage of 1.3% and a longitudinal slope percentage of 0.6%. In this planning, the calculation of excavation volume is 1544.188 m3 and the volume of embankment is 38.446 m3 and requires a cost of Rp. 917,200,000.00 (Nine Hundred Seventeen Million Two Hundred Thousand Rupiah).
