Planning of Rigid Pavement on Surface Level Heliport at Rahadi Oesman Airport Ketapang – West Kalimantan

Abstract

As long as Rahadi Oesman Airport is operating, but until now it does not yet have Surface Level Heliport facilities for take-off landing helicopters, so helicopters often take-off landing in the Apron section. With the condition of the Apron pavement being inadequate to carry the helicopter, there was damage in the form of holes in the Apron pavement. To reduce this damage and for the sake of flight safety which is written in SKEP 77 of 2015, Rahadi Oesman Airport is required to provide a surface level heliport. This final project is designed to convey how to plan Surface Level Heliport with pavement thickness according to international standards (Federal Aviation Administration) through FAA and FAARFIELD Manual calculations and calculate PCN values using COMFAA Software. From the calculation results obtained, there are 13 cm thick concrete slab or surface and 11 cm subbase, and have PCN 9.4 and ACN 3.5 values based on the most critical aircraft, namely BELL 412 with a maximum weight of 11,900 lbs and volume results for surface level heliport planning of 43 × 43 × 0.24 m 3 .
