Abstract
Apron Movement Control (AMC) has an important role in controlling aircraft movement
activities on the apron area to support operational safety at the airport. This study aims to
analyze the impact of human error and communication errors in controlling aircraft
movement between AMC and other operational units at Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II
Airport Palembang, as well as analyze the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures
(SOP) for aircraft movement control on the apron. This study used a descriptive qualitative
method through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that errors in
communication and coordination between operational units can potentially disrupt aircraft
movement activities and increase operational risk on the apron area. Several factors causing
these obstacles include limited personnel, high aircraft movement intensity, communication
constraints, and lack of operational discipline. The implementation of SOP by AMC officers
has generally been carried out according to applicable procedures through monitoring,
coordination, and supervision of aircraft and vehicle movements in the apron area.
