Optimizing the Safety and Efficiency of Ngurah Rai Airport Runway, Bali through the Implementation of Stopbar Light

Abstract

Ngurah Rai Airport is one of the airports with the busiest traffic in Indonesia. Maintaining runway safety and operational efficiency is crucial to the continuous growth of air traffic. Ensuring the safety and efficiency of airport runway operations is paramount in the aviation industry. This study investigates the implementation of Stopbar Lights as a measure to optimize the safety and efficiency of runway activities at Ngurah Rai Airport in Bali. Stopbar Lights serve as a visual aid to pilots, indicating the precise location where they should stop on the runway, contributing to the prevention of runway incursions, and enhancing overall safety protocols. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of observation, unstructured interviews, literature study, and documentation. Results indicate a notable enhancement in runway safety and efficiency following the introduction of Stopbar Lights. The technology not only reduces the risk of runway incursions but also streamlines ground movements, leading to improved operational timelines. Insights from this study provide valuable considerations for airport authorities and aviation professionals seeking to enhance runway management systems.
