Abstract
Terminal Distance Measuring Equipment (T-DME) is a type of aviation navigation equipment that helps pilots provide distance information to landing location points. This T-DME is usually installed side by side with the Landing System Instrument equipment, namely Glide-Path, in this case the T-DME has the function of providing distance information, especially to the Glide Path ground station when carrying out aircraft landing procedures. To ensure that the T-DME equipment is in normal operating condition, calibration activities need to be carried out so that the T-DME equipment remains in accordance with the provisions and parameters. In this research, a problem was found with the T-DME where the beam range was reduced during the calibration process. The method that will be used in this research is a qualitative method to support the data needed in cases of problems that occur. The author analyzes the problems in this research with stages that can help resolve related problems with the aim of ensuring that the T-DME equipment can operate normally and restore the beam range of this T-DME equipment for use in the aircraft flight process safely and appropriately.
