Effect of Electronic Flight Bag Usage and Safety Culture on Flight Safety Performance at PT. Garuda Indonesia
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of electronic flight bag use and safety culture on Garuda Indonesia’s flight safety performance.
Research Methodology: The data used in this study were primary data collected through online questionnaires distributed to 35 Garuda Indonesia pilots operating Airbus A330 aircraft. The analysis employed a quantitative descriptive approach using SPSS version 25. The results indicated a strong, positive, and unidirectional relationship between variables. Furthermore, electronic flight bag usage effectiveness and safety culture had a positive and significant effect on flight safety performance, contributing 78.8%, with safety culture identified as the dominant factor.
Results: The findings indicate a strong and positive relationship between EFB usage, safety culture, and flight safety performance. The study concludes that EFB usage and safety culture contribute 78.8% to flight safety performance, with safety culture having a more significant impact.
Conclusions: The use of EFB and the implementation of a strong safety culture have a substantial positive effect on the flight safety performance at PT. Garuda Indonesia.
Limitations: The study’s scope is limited to pilots of Garuda Indonesia flying Airbus A330 aircraft, which may not be representative of all aviation sectors.
Contributions: This study provides valuable insights into how technology (EFB) and organizational factors (safety culture) enhance aviation safety, contributing to both academic literature and practical applications in the aviation industry.
