Since 2007, PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI) has been developing N-219 aircraft. One of its component is cockpit. Cockpit is used by the pilot to operate the aircraft. Prior to starting the mass production of the airplane, PT DI made N-219 prototype to be evaluated. There are some issues regarding comfortability of the cockpit prototype. Pilot with height more than 175 cm will not be able to operate optimally in the cockpit due to cockpit design limitation. This issue is a result from the absence of anthropometric-based aircraft cockpit design methodology. Therefore, problem statement of this research is to establish methodology for anthropometric-based aircraft cockpit design. First step of this research is to understand basic theory of an aircraft and antrhopometric-based design procedure. Then, identification of crucial information regarding procedure for anthropometric-based aircraft cockpit design such as information about aircraft generally, work station, visibilty, reachability, and cockpit equipment. After that, existing standards of aircraft design are identified and the standards used in this research are determined. Those standards are CASR part 23, MIL-STD 1333, and GAMA part 10. The result of this research is proposed procedure for anthropometry-based aircraft cockpit design. Aircraft cockpit design begins with collecting anthropometric data which includes determine sample, determine anthropometric dimensions, and evaluate anthropometric data that has been collected. After that, the design approach is determined and the design stage begins with determining three design reference points which are SRP, DEP, and HRP that are used to establish seat requirements, vision envelope, hand reach envelope, foot reach envelope, instrument location, and overall cockpit structure.
