E-WASHINGTON - Ungquzulwano oluthumele i-helicopter yokubona indawo egcwele abakhenkethi kunye nenqwelomoya encinci kwi-Hudson River ngoMgqibelo iza ngaphantsi kwenyanga emva kokuba i-federal watchdog ilumkise ukuba ukongamela ukhuseleko lokujonga indawo kunye nezinye iinqwelo-moya eziqeshweyo zikhululekile kakhulu.
Inqwelomoya encinci ingqubane nehelikopta yokubona indawo yaseNew York ebithwele abakhenkethi base-Italiya ngoMgqibelo malunga nemini emaqanda. Ingozi yasasaza inkunkuma emanzini kwaye yanyanzela abantu kunxweme lwaseNew Jersey ukuba baye kwindawo yokufihla. Abasemagunyeni bakholelwa ukuba bonke abantu abalithoba ababekhwele iinqwelomoya ezimbini babulewe.
Umhloli jikelele weSebe lezoThutho ugxeke kabukhali iFederal Aviation Administration kwingxelo ngokubonelela ngokhuseleko olubuthathaka kakhulu kwishishini lenqwelomoya "ekufuneka" - iinkampani ezibhabha ngeenqwelomoya, zombini iihelikopta kunye neenqwelomoya, ezihlala abantu abangaphantsi kwama-30 kubathengi. isicelo - kunokuba senza kushishino lwenqwelomoya yorhwebo.
Ukugxekwa kokongamela kweFAA kwishishini lenqwelomoya elifunwayo ayiyonto intsha. Ukusukela ngo-2002, iBhodi yeSizwe yoKhuseleko lwezoThutho yenze iingcebiso ezili-16 ezinxulumene nokhuseleko lweshishini lokubhabha elifunekayo. I-FAA ayizange iphumeze nayiphi na kuzo.
Ikomiti yeengcebiso ze-FAA ichithe iminyaka emibini ihlola ukhuseleko lweshishini lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya, ikhuphe iingcebiso ze-124 ngoSeptemba 2005. Phantse iminyaka emine kamva, akukho nanye yezo ngcebiso - ezininzi zazo zihambelana neengcebiso ze-NTSB - ziphunyeziwe.
Ingxelo yaqaphela ukuba i-FAA iphuhlisa indlela entsha yokulawula ukhuseleko kubaqhubi abafunekayo abaya kujolisa eyona misebenzi inobungozi. Nangona kunjalo, ithe inkqubo entsha ayicwangciswanga ukuba isetyenziswe ngokupheleleyo ubuncinci iminyaka emine.
"Ngenxa yale mingcipheko kunye nokwahlukana kwabaqhubi abafunekayo, okujoliswe kuyo, ukubeka umngcipheko kwi-FAA ngumbandela obalulekileyo," yatsho ingxelo.
Amagosa eFAA athi ayavumelana nezindululo kwingxelo yomhloli jikelele kwaye ayayiphumeza.
Kukho ngaphezulu kwe-2,300 yabasebenzisi abafunwayo e-US, babhabha ngaphezulu kwe-9,000 yeenqwelomoya. Ngo-2007 kunye no-2008, ixesha apho kwakungekho kufa ngenxa yeengozi zeenqwelo-moya zorhwebo, kukho iingozi zeenqwelomoya ezifayo ezingama-33 apho abantu abayi-109 babulawa.
Uninzi lwemimiselo elawula ishishini ayizange ihlaziywe ukususela ngo-1978. Ukususela ngelo xesha ubuchwepheshe butshintshile. Ukusetyenziswa kweejethi ngabaqhubi abafunwayo ngoku kuqhelekileyo, umzekelo. Abanini-zithuthi bakwabhabha neentlobo ezintsonkothileyo zeenqwelo moya kunye neenqwelomoya zamazwe ngamazwe.
Imisebenzi yenqwelo moya efunwayo ijongwa kakhulu ngokunqaphazekayo iinqwelomoya zorhwebo nangona zihlala zisebenza phantsi kweemeko ezinobungozi, zibhabha zibhabha kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya ezincinci ngaphandle kweenqaba zolawulo okanye zinduluke kwaye zihlale kwiindawo ezikude, ukusuka kwi-Rocky Mountain ski slopes ukuya kwi-red rock canyons. intlango esemazantsi-ntshona.
Ingxelo yomhloli jikelele icaphule umzekelo womsebenzi ofunwayo ukuba ukhwelisa intlaninge yeenqwelomoya ngosuku ezisa abakhenkethi kwiindawo zomkhenkce apho isicwangciso siye sahlala khona aze athabathe uhambo lokutyibiliza. Umsebenzisi uneenqwelo-moya ze-17 kwaye wahlolwa ngamaxesha asibhozo yi-FAA ngo-2008. Ngokwahlukileyo, i-airline yezorhwebo eneenqwelo-moya ze-10 ezijongene neofisi efanayo ye-FAA ifumene ukuhlolwa kwe-199 ngonyaka ofanayo.
