Perubahan ke arah strategi yang dapat diimplementasikan sesuai dengan perkembangan persaingan </strong><strong><em>charter flight</em></strong><strong> untuk pelayanan yang terbaik bagi pelanggan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan aplikatif yaitu merancang suatu sistem yang dapat diaplikasikan pada perusahaan </strong><strong><em>charter flight</em></strong><strong>, yang telah memiliki sistem pengelolaan kinerja dengan menggunakan </strong><strong><em>Balanced Scorecard</em></strong><strong>. </strong><strong>Pada perancangan </strong><strong><em>Balanced Scorecard</em></strong><strong> terdapat 4 perspektif utama yaitu : </strong><strong><em>financial perspective , customer perspective, internal business processes , learning and growth perspective</em></strong><strong>. </strong><strong><em>Balanced Scorecard</em></strong><strong> tidak di desain secara spesifik untuk perusahaan jasa dan tidak bersifat prediksi.</strong><em> </em><strong>Sementara</strong> <strong><em>Service </em><em>Scorecard</em> memfokuskan spesifik pelayanan pada <em>customer perspective</em>. </strong><strong>Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh </strong><strong><em>Strategy Mapping</em></strong><strong> yang memuat tujuan-tujuan strategis dan indikator (<em>Lead dan Lag</em>) dari <em>Service Scorecard</em>. Terdapat 17 ukuran kinerja yang temuat di dalam 17 tujuan strategis dan 7 perspektif dari <em>Service Scorecard</em> yaitu : <em>Growth, Leadearship, Acceleration, Collaboration, Innovation, Execution, Retention</em>.

Companies must be dynamic and adaptive to changes in the business environment. Changes in the direction of strategy that can be implemented in accordance with the competition development of charter flight for the best service for customers. This research uses applicative approach to design a system that can be applied to the charter flight company, which already has a performance management system by using the Balanced Scorecard. In the Balanced Scorecard , there are four main perspectives: financial perspective, customer perspective, internal business processes, learning and growth perspective. Balanced Scorecard is not designed specifically to service companies and non-predictive. While the Service Scorecard specific focus on customer service perspective.

Study of Aircraft Accident Related to Asphalt Runway Skid Resistance

On February 20, 1991, a brand-new British Aerospace BAE 146-200 aircraft, operated by a commercial airline, landed at Guardiamarina Airport in Port Williams, Chile. The aircraft landed under good weather conditions on an asphalt surface treatment runway and skidded more than 1,000 m into the Beagle Channel. It was a charter flight with 60 tourists on board; 40 survived. A long investigation provided evidence on why the aircraft skidded off the end of the runway.
