Design Modification of Flight Information Display System Simulator Based on Web Using Text To Speech at Aviation Polytechnic of Surabaya

Abstract

The limited learning facilities at the Surabaya Aviation Polytechnic have resulted in the understanding and
operation of the Flight Information Display System (FIDS) remaining largely theoretical, with minimal practical
application. This condition creates a gap between the practical competencies required by students and the available
learning resources, highlighting the academic urgency for more interactive and applicable learning media. This study
aims to design and develop a web-based FIDS simulator integrated with a Text to Speech (TTS) feature, providing not
only visual information but also audio outputs similar to real airport systems. The development process employed the
ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) using Visual Studio Code and XAMPP.
System evaluation included white box and black box testing to assess functionality, as well as validation by media
experts (3 lecturers) and users (30 students) through a usability questionnaire. The results demonstrated that all system
functions operated as designed, while the validation process produced an average usability score of 87.6%, placing it in
the “highly usable” category. The findings indicate that the web-based FIDS simulator with TTS integration successfully
enhances interactivity and provides a learning experience that closely simulates real operational conditions.
Scientifically, this study contributes to the development of simulation-based learning media in aviation vocational
education and may serve as a reference for similar system development in other aviation institutions. Practically, the
system can be implemented both as an independent learning tool and as an integrated laboratory resource, supporting
students in achieving competencies more effectively.
