Due to the importance of weather in people's lives, various groups have advocated for accurate climate
information. However, weather predictions can often be unclear or ambiguous. Weather advice and
information are crucial in determining the safety of landing an aircraft in aviation. To address this,
Mamdani Fuzzy Logic will be used to compare two scenarios: one with three inputs (wind direction, wind
speed, and visibility) and another that includes the pilot's experience to assess its impact on the landing
process. A fuzzy logic-based intelligent system generates three decisions: feasible, careful, and not feasible
for landing an aircraft on a runway. The difference rate between the two experiments was 68%, indicating
that the pilot's experience played a significant role and forced its importance in the results.
Each flight must consider several important factors to maintaining the safety of the passengers. Weather is a factor that must be considered when the aircraft takes off and landings. Weather information is important to give a recommendation flight worthiness. The fuzzy method is an excellent method for forecasting the weather whether the aircraft eligible to fly or landing. The data used is from BMKG Meteorological Class 1 Polonia. The data used as inputs of fuzzy logic. Recommendations eligibility is affected by low visibility and wind direction. Both of these parameters are affected by the rain and wind speed. For rainfall prediction model with three inputs, namely visibility, wind speed and wind direction. The output is feasibility. By applying the fuzzy method of the low will help the water traffic control to help the plane that would take off and landing.
MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES FOR ANALYSIS OF EGYPTIAN FLIGHT DELAYIJDKP
Flight delay has been the fiendish problem to the world's aviation industry, so there is very important
significance to research for computer system predicting flight delay propagation. Extraction of hidden
information from large datasets of raw data could be one of the ways for building predictive model. This
paper describes the application of classification techniques for analysing the Flight delay pattern in Egypt
Airline’s Flight dataset. In this work, four decision tree classifiers were evaluated and results show that the
REPTree have the best accuracy 80.3% with respect to Forest, Stump and J48. However, four rules based
classifiers were compared and results show that PART provides best accuracy among studied rule-based
classifiers with accuracy of 83.1%. By analysing running time for all classifiers, the current work
concluded that REPtree is the most efficient classifier with respect to accuracy and running time. Also, the
current work is extended to apply of Apriori association technique to extract some important information
about flight delay. Association rules are presented and association technique is evaluated.

OPERATING EFFICIENCY STUDY OF AVIATION SECURITY SCREENERS USING THE EYE-TRACK...IAEME Publication
This paper describes studies related to the influence of the fatigue factor on the
oculomotor activity of aviation security screeners. Analysis of possible instrumental
diagnostic methods of the functional status of aviation security screeners was
conducted and the Eye-tracking technology was selected as the one with the greatest
advantages. Overview of the experience in the application of the Eye-tracking
technology when diagnosing the functional status of aviation security screeners is
presented. In this paper for the first time as follows from experimental studies using
the Eye-tracking technology potential fatigue markers of aviation security screeners
with the most accurate changes were identified consistent with earlier studies pursued
by other authors. As the result of solving the problem of the statistical hypothesis
testing it is found that such oculomotor reactions as the blink frequency, the blink
duration average and the pupils diameter average can be used for diagnosing the
functional status of aviation security screeners whereas the saccade frequency did not
change for certain in the period of studies pursued and is not potentially useful for
monitoring. It was demonstrated that the Sugeno fuzzy model based on the subtractive
clustering and ANFIS-learning does better approximate the dependence between
oculomotor activity indicators of aviation security screeners and the prohibited items
detection efficiency in comparison with other models. Model fidelity by the Root-
Mean-Square Error criterion on the learning sample is 0,0348 and on the test sample
is 0,0858 as the case may be. Scientific and theoretical value of this paper involves
developing scientific knowledge related to the influence of the fatigue factor on the

The Intersecting Operations (IO) Model was developed to define a set of separation standards for converging and intersecting runway operations which statistically mitigates collision risk for modeled airport geometries and associated parameters. The IO Model incorporates synthetic trajectory models that account for the variation within historical environmental variables and actual flight data informed by NOP and ASDE-X sources. This model provides a simulation by which analysts can statistically determine an area of unacceptable risk and propose a risk mitigation methodology for these areas.

Abstract
The objective of this research is to develop an analytic method that uses data on both accident and safety indicators to
quantify the aviation risk which are caused by human errors. A specified proportional hazard model considering the base-
line hazard function as a quadratic spline function has investigated and demonstrated its applicability in aviation risk
assessment. The use of the proposed model allows investigation of non-linear effects of aviation safety factors and flexible
assessment of aviation risk. A subset of data gathered from the Fight Safety Management Information System (FSMIS)
developed by the office of the Taiwan Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) was applied to accomplish this study. The
results demonstrate that the proposed model is a more promising approach with the potential of becoming very useful in
practice and leading to further generalization of aviation risk analysis.

1. Introduction
As the worldwide air transportation traffic volume grows rapidly, safety in aviation becomes a burning
problem over many countries today. Aviation accident may result in human injury or even death. It influences
the reputation and the economy of the air transportation industry of a country. According to the analysis of
Mineata (1997), when today’s accident rate is applied to the traffic forecast for 2015, the result would be the
crashing of an airliner somewhere in the world almost every week. Braithwaite, Caves, and Faulkner (1998)
stated that in order to achieve safety and reduce accident rate, we must quantify risk and balance it with
appropriate safety measures.
In order to ensure the public safety and maintain a safe aviation environment, developing an analytic
method that moves beyond the essential identification of risk factors to assess the safety performance and dis-
cover the potential hazards of airlines is indispensable. McFadden and Towell (1999) mentioned, while appre-
ciating the value of accident investigations in identifying the cause and initiating corrective actions to prevent
future errors, that a fundamental shift in the emphasis to ‘‘proactive safety’’ would be necessary. To achieve

Drones will fail. Drones will crash. Drones will hit humans. Drones will “fly-away”. Birds will interfere
with drones. Drones will be lost. Pilots and software will make errors.
This is the drone reality.
However, regardless of the potential risk factors involved with their operation, drones do provide
citizens, businesses, industries, and governments with tremendous value.
Furthermore, in many cases, drones provide a safer alternative to traditional manned aircraft
applications or civilian labour such as in oil and gas and mining inspection services.
Therefore, AVSS and The Institute for Drone Technology believe the challenge of the emerging drone
technologies is not to detect, exclude, or avoid the use of drones, but to determine how we can
safely utilize this growing and beneficial technology.
Passengers prefer airlines because the people want to reach destination faster and safer. Aviation industry is dependent on a number of industries. It is dependent on smooth and effective functioning’s of the different departments.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

ABSTRACT
Due to the importance of weather in people's lives, various groups have advocated for accurate climate
information. However, weather predictions can often be unclear or ambiguous. Weather advice and
information are crucial in determining the safety of landing an aircraft in aviation. To address this,
Mamdani Fuzzy Logic will be used to compare two scenarios: one with three inputs (wind direction, wind
speed, and visibility) and another that includes the pilot's experience to assess its impact on the landing
process. A fuzzy logic-based intelligent system generates three decisions: feasible, careful, and not feasible
for landing an aircraft on a runway. The difference rate between the two experiments was 68%, indicating
that the pilot's experience played a significant role and forced its importance in the results.

1. INTRODUCTION
The earth's rotation and sunlight-based energy cause the climate to constantly change, which has
a significant impact on human activity. For instance, weather information is crucial for
agricultural purposes, particularly in countries that heavily rely on agriculture. Additionally,
tourism and aviation industries also require weather updates [1]. Knowing the upcoming weather
conditions is essential for human safety in air travel as factors such as wind direction, pressure,
wind speed, and cloud ceiling height can affect flight safety. According to data from the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA), human factor, fleet factor, and weather factor are the top three
causes of accidents in aviation [2]. The World Meteorological Organization has established
regulations regarding weather and flight safety, as weather conditions can affect aircraft taking
off, flying, and landing. If the weather is bad, these activities can be disrupted and passengers'
safety may be compromised. Accurate and timely forecasts of airport weather are crucial for air
transport to operate safely and efficiently. Pilots rely on these forecasts to determine how much
reserve fuel to load before takeoff, especially if poor weather is predicted at their destination
airport. In such cases, pilots may need to divert the flight enroute to an alternate airport, which
requires extra fuel. The Meteorological Service (MS) is responsible for providing precise and up-
to-date information on cloud ceiling height, visibility, precipitation, wind direction, and speed.
Forecasters use all relevant data to ensure the accuracy of these forecasts [3]. The term
"Weather" pertains to the atmospheric conditions on the surface of the earth. Meteorologists use
various tools, observational data, science, and technology to predict weather at a specific time
and place. In the past, weather forecasting was done through observation alone until the first
computer-generated forecast was produced in 1955. Weather forecasting is essential for both
short-term and long-term planning. The process involves recording ongoing measurements of

temperature, pressure, precipitation, and wind speed and using them to predict future weather
conditions. Accurate forecasting is crucial for hazardous and severe weather conditions as it can
potentially save lives, property, and crops. Meteorologists use various tools such as outdoor
thermometers, barometers, anemometers, hygrometers, radar, and radiosondes to measure data
accurately. Computer models are used to process all of this information to produce forecasts for
scientists [4].
This paper focuses on the significant challenge faced by pilots in weather forecasting as they play
a vital role in flying and need to make decisions about flying feasibility in adverse weather
conditions based on their experience. Accurate weather information about their destination and
enroute is crucial for them. Inexperienced pilots may make incorrect decisions that could result in
fatal accidents during takeoff or landing. Our research motivation is to investigate how pilot
experience impacts the feasibility of flying, with a focus on understanding the weather conditions
that pilots may encounter during their flight. Accurate knowledge of weather conditions is critical
for pilots to ensure safe flights and reduce accidents. The aim and objectives of our research are
to apply the Mamdani methodology to analyze how pilot experience affects weather prediction.
The aims of this study are as follows: firstly, to train the Mamdani methodology on three factors
(wind speed, wind direction, and visibility); secondly, to train the same methodology on these
factors with the addition of a fourth factor (pilot experience); thirdly, to evaluate and compare the
results of both experiments; and finally, to apply Matlab to a real dataset in order to observe how
increasing pilot experience affects the results. The ultimate aim of this research is to improve
weather prediction accuracy and reduce aviation accidents by focusing on landing prediction. The
scope of this study will be centered around comparing the two experiments and examining how
increasing pilot experience influences landing prediction. The rest of this paper is organized as
follows. In Section 2, we highlight the background knowledge and related works. The research
methodology will be introduced in Section 3. Section 4 presents the results. Finally, Section 5
concludes the paper and presents future work.
2. BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE AND RELATED WORK
In 2009, the United States spent approximately $5.1 billion on weather forecasting, which is
considered a part of the economy [5]. Machine learning algorithms have been successfully used
to forecast weather conditions by integrating data from multiple sources and identifying patterns
in a set of data [6]. Deep Learning is a subfield of machine learning that uses artificial neural
networks inspired by the structure and function of the brain. Researchers have developed a new
method of weather prediction called Deep Learning Weather Prediction (DLWP), which uses
historical weather data to make predictions for the next 2-6 weeks for the entire world [7]. Data
Mining can be applied to relational databases to search for patterns, hidden relations, and validate
datasets based on input conditions [8]. In prediction, a classification system is commonly used to
forecast data occurrences by collecting dynamic data related to the current state of weather [9]
Production rules, which are condition action statements, are the most typical representation of
knowledge and expertise in expert systems [10] and were used in weather forecasting.
Fuzzy system refers to a system based on fuzzy logic theory developed by Lotfi Zadeh in 1965.
Fuzzy Logic allows something to be partially true and partially false, considering the influence of
different input values on the system's output. Its main characteristic involves representing
symbolic knowledge through fuzzy conditional rules [11]. Predictions are specific future
expectations estimated or grounded in several variables and presumptions. However, statistical
methods are difficult to handle in many situations in weather forecasting, even decision trees and
flow charts based on traditional logic. Fuzzy logic can consider how various input values affect
the output of a system [12]. There are numerous variations of fuzzy systems, including Mamdani
3. International Journal of Software Engineering & Applications (IJSEA), Vol.14, No.5, September 2023
20
and Sugeno. Mamdani's rules are derived from human experience, and in this system, each fuzzy
if-then rule's consequence is represented by a fuzzy set. In contrast, Sugeno uses a mathematical
function of the input variable instead of a fuzzy set. The Sugeno fuzzy model takes the form of
"IF x is A and y is B THEN z = f(x, y)," where A and B are fuzzy sets in the antecedent and z =
f(x, y) is a crisp function in the consequent.
Weather prediction is not just limited to rainfall and forest-fire smoke, but also extends to
aviation. According to Wijaya et al. [2], a study was conducted to create a decision-making tool
that aids Air Traffic Control (ATC) officers and pilots in determining whether the weather
conditions are appropriate for an aircraft to fly or land. The variables used in the research include
visibility, wind speed, and wind direction, and Mamdani fuzzy logic was utilized. The decision
results are classified into three output factors: feasible, careful, and not feasible. The study's
findings demonstrate that this system can assist ATC personnel and pilots in determining the
possibility of takeoff and landing. In other study conducted by Pratiwi et al. [13], Mamdani's
fuzzy logic was employed to address issues related to weather and pilot experience during aircraft
landings. The inputs for this research include wind speed, wind direction, visibility, and pilot
experience, while the output is the feasibility of the landing process. The study suggests that the
system should attempt to imitate human behavior. In [14], Ramli et al. presented a method for
predicting weather and making decisions about whether an aircraft can land or take off at an
airport with inadequate weather conditions. The output is generated by combining environmental
parameters, turbulence parameters, and fog parameters. The study's findings demonstrate that the
output is highly accurate in weather forecasting. As per [15], a thesis was conducted to determine
whether an airport is suitable for landing or taking off based on weather conditions. The study
utilized three parameters: wind speed, wind direction, and visibility. The decision regarding
airport conditions with specific weather is categorized as suitable, careful, or not suitable in terms
of percentage. The study's results can assist in making informed decisions about landing and
taking off. Zadeh [16] utilized a Microsoft Flight Simulator to determine the feasibility of landing
or taking off an aircraft based on specific weather conditions and pilot experience. The study
employed three parameters: wind speed, visibility, and pilot experience. The findings of the
research can determine the success rate of landing and takeoff based on the system's results. The
purpose of this paper is to use the Mamdani to predict aircraft landing and test the impact of pilot
experience as an extra factor.
3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In 2009, the United States spent approximately $5.1 billion on weather forecasting, which is
considered a part of the Fuzzy Logic is a type of soft computing that deals with the imprecision
of the real world. It is an extension of multivalued logic that aims for approximate reasoning
rather than exact solutions. Unlike traditional crisp logic, which only allows for true or false
values represented by 1 or 0 respectively, fuzzy logic allows variables to have truth values
ranging from 0 to 1. These values indicate the degree of truth rather than absolute yes or no
answers. Fuzzy Logic is closely related to human language and prediction (Wang, 20165). This
study focuses on fuzzy inference, which involves passing input variables through a system of If-
Then rules and fuzzy logical operations to reach an output space. The If-Then rules are expressed
in human language and each word is considered a fuzzy set defined by membership functions
before being used in building the rules. Classical crisp set theory operates on a binary logic where
an element either belongs to the set or does not. Unlike having a clear boundary, fuzzy set theory
allows elements to have a degree of membership between complete belonging and complete non-
belonging. Membership functions are used to assign values between 0 and 1 to each element in
the input space, determining their degree of membership in the fuzzy collection. The membership
function curve shows the range where an input variable will have a non-zero membership value,
with the core representing the range where it will have full membership. This is illustrated in

Figure 1, where 𝜇(𝑥) ≠ 0 for any point between a and d, and 𝜇(𝑥) = 1 for any point within the
interval [b, c].
Figure 1. A sample of membership function
The equation (1) evaluates linguistic expressions for variables and their membership functions,
where membership function "u" is defined by lower limit "a," upper limit "d," and value "b," with
"a" being less than "b" which is less than "d."
To maintain consistent logical operations, fuzzy logic must adhere to the same principles as
standard binary logic. However, in fuzzy logic, operands A and B are membership values within
the range of 0 to 1, rather than being limited to fully true or totally false values. The basic logical
operations of AND, OR, and NOT are still used, but they are expressed differently in fuzzy logic.
For example, the function min is used to express logical AND. If-Then rules are utilized in fuzzy
inference processes to map input variables onto the output space. These rules follow a specific
format where x is an input variable and y is an output variable. Both A and B in these statements
are linguistic values that work with human judgment. A can be defined by a specific membership
function while B can be either a fuzzy set or a polynomial depending on the specific method used
for fuzzy inference. The antecedent of these statements aims to determine the membership value
of input variable x corresponding to fuzzy set A, while the consequent provides a precise value
for output variable y.
Mamdani believes that fuzzy sets should be used as output membership functions for complex
systems and decision processes. Once the aggregation process is complete, there will be a fuzzy
set for each output variable that requires defuzzification. A fuzzy logic method experiment is
conducted to identify a plane landing on a runway under specific weather conditions and pilot
experience, with three parameters (wind speed, wind direction, and visibility) being examined.
Then the same method is implemented with four parameters, including the pilot's experience,
which has been found to have a relationship with aircraft landing decisions based on previous
research. All variables in each criterion are processed using fuzzy logic through a Mamdani-type
inference process consisting of fuzzification, rule evaluation, aggregation, and defuzzification.
The fuzzification process involves mapping crisp input values to fuzzy set membership functions
derived from controlled system data. The system inference process uses fact data from experts or
institutions presented in logical sentences as rules to determine the fuzzification output. After
calculating each variable, the final step is defuzzification. All combinations of variables or
parameters are compared by evaluating existing rules resulting in decisions on landing aircraft.

The AIRNAV Ahmad Yani Airport in Semarang provides the training and testing data for this
study on fuzzy logic.
3.1. FUZZIFICATION
Fuzzification refers to the process of converting exact input values into linguistic values
represented by fuzzy associations with a membership function. The linguistic values for each
variable can be classified based on data from previous research and the "Airplane Flying
Handbook" issued by the Federal Aviation Administration. The inputs are obtained from a
weather station in the form of METAR, which is an observation of current surface weather
reported in a standard international format. Wind direction is expressed in degrees clockwise
from due north, with five defined fuzzy sets representing this variable. Figure 2 illustrates the
fuzzy set for wind direction. The relationship between wind direction and wind speed is
significant as it affects aircraft landing or take off due to crosswinds [13].
Wind speed is a fundamental aspect of meteorology that results from the movement of air from
areas of high pressure to those of low pressure, often due to temperature fluctuations. An
anemometer is used to measure wind speed, which generally increases as pressure differentials
become more pronounced. Wind speeds are measured in knots, with calm conditions starting at 0
knots and potentially damaging winds exceeding 30 knots. Variable wind speeds are classified
into three fuzzy sets: low, average, and high. Figure 3 represents fuzzy set for the wind speed
variable.
Figure 2. Fuzzy set for the wind direction variable function Figure 3. Fuzzy set for the wind speed variable function
Visibility is crucial for safe air travel and refers to a pilot's ability to see prominent objects during
the day and night, especially during takeoff, landing, and taxiing phases of flight. Factors such as
fog, clouds, haze, and precipitation can affect visibility, which is measured in statute meters
ranging from 1000 m to over 100000 m. The fuzzy set for visibility variables is depicted in
Figure 4.
Pilot's experience, often measured in "flight hours," indicates the total duration a pilot has spent
operating an aircraft and serves as a key indicator of their level of expertise in aviation. The
variable of pilot experience is divided into two fuzzy sets: low and high, as depicted in Figure 5.
Flight hours are defined as the time from when an aircraft begins moving under its own power for
flight until it comes to a stop after landing. This includes time spent on pre-flight inspections and
taxiing while the engine is running. It typically takes two years to accumulate the required 1,500
flight hours necessary for becoming an airline pilot.

3.2. RULE EVALUATION
Rule evaluation is the second step that involves taking values that have been fuzzified into
antecedents using the AND operator for implication processes that use the Min function
µA∩B(x) = min [µA(x), µB(x)]. The rule base is typically defined by domain experts using
evaluation rules developed based on the rule approach and correlation calculation to find variable
priority. According to Pratiwi et al. [13], evaluation rules are developed into 11 rules but could be
more if more data from airports were available.

3.3. AGGREGATION
Aggregation involves combining all output rules into a unified whole. In order to determine the
final precise deviation value using the Mamdani fuzzy inference method, all fuzzy output
functions must be aggregated on the same axis, as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Aggregation phase

3.4. DEFUZZIFICATION
The motivation behind this work is to provide a method for assessing the clarity of fuzzy results
in the fuzzy inference process. Defuzzification is the final step in this process, and it involves
converting fuzzy sets into crisp values that can be easily understood and utilized. The authors
highlight that there are various defuzzification methods available, but the Center of Gravity
(COG) method is the most commonly used one. The COG method calculates the location where
two equal masses of an aggregate set would be separated by a vertical line. This calculation is
continuous and involves aggregating membership functions. The authors express this
mathematically using equation (2), where Z represents the weighted average output that remains
constant, α predicate denotes the minimum value of operating results for n fuzzy rules, and w
refers to the weight assigned to each forecast in forming fuzzy rules. Overall, the motivation
behind this work is to provide a clear and effective method for assessing fuzzy results in order to
improve decision-making processes that rely on fuzzy inference. However, this type of rule can
be potentially applicable to the study of multi-agent cooperative coordination [18]
We test the unsafe landing conditions based on three factors: Visibility, Wind Direction, and
Wind Speed. Each factor has a degree of membership of 1, as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Result of testing unsafe landing condition
By compensating in the equation (2), we will have 85 as a result of this testing which means that
if the input value follows the established rules, the fuzzy calculation process will determine that
landing in position 85 is NOT FEASIBLE for the aircraft.
4. RESULTS
The study used a database of 16 cases from AIRNAV Ahmad Yani Airport Semarang to
demonstrate how pilot experience affects landing feasibility. Table 2 presents the data used and
results obtained in this study when considering only three inputs (Visibility, Wind Direction, and
Wind Speed), as well as when Pilot's Experience was also taken into account. Data collection
took place between December 2021 and June 2022 to observe variations in weather across
different months. Out of the 16 cases studied, 11 showed different results due to pilot experience
while five were unaffected by it. Logistic regression was used as a variation rate to predict binary
response variables, with total misclassification rate being a common metric for measuring
prediction error. The pilot's level of experience is a crucial factor that cannot be neglected on
secure landings. Therefore, we will be increasing their experience in each instance to observe its

impact on landing quality. Table 3 shows various outcomes based on changes in the pilot's hours,
indicating that as they gain more experience, the predicted landing value decreases, resulting in
safer landings.
Table 2. Results using the two experiences Table 3. The effect of pilot’s experience
The relationship between landing prediction and pilot experience is inverse, as demonstrated in
cases 1, 5, 6, and 8 when it changes from not feasible to careful and cases 2, 3, and 10 when it
changes from careful to feasible. MATLAB has been used to construct the interface for
Mamdani fuzzy inference. The user inputs data such as wind speed, wind direction, visibility,
and pilot experience, ensuring that each variable falls within the specified range. Figure 8
illustrates this process. After inputting rules into the rule editor, the landing prediction is
generated, as shown in Figure 9.

aircraft landing and compare the impact of pilot experience. Two experiments were conducted.

The first experiment considered wind speed, wind direction, and visibility as factors while the
second experiment added pilot experience as a factor. By comparing the two experiments, it was
found that pilot experience had a significant impact on the landing process, accounting for over
60% of its value. Additionally, increasing pilot experience generally reduced the risk of flying in
certain weather conditions. By integrating the Fuzzy Logic approach with another technique like
Artificial Neural Network, we expect that our prediction can be enhanced. Additionally,
incorporating additional factors such as air density, humidity, and precipitation into the
regulations could enhance the precision of aircraft landing's prediction. As a future work, we plan
to investigate this hypothesis by employing Fuzzy Logic in conjunction with Artificial Neural
Network to determine its impact on aircraft landing prediction accuracy. Furthermore, statistical
evaluations will be conducted to investigate how a pilot's age and experience influence their
chances of committing errors.
