Kwiinyanga ezimbini emva kokuphahlazeka kwe-Air France Airbus A330 kwi-Atlantiki, umenzi weenqwelo-moya waseFransi kunye ne-Arhente yoKhuseleko lwe-Aviation yaseYurophu (i-EASA) ibongoza iinkampani ezibhabha iinqwelomoya ukuba zitshintshe izixhobo zabo zokulinganisa isantya somoya.
Iziphumo zophando kwi-Air France Flight 447 zibonisa ukuba i-Thales sensors ephosakeleyo kungenzeka ukuba ibe negalelo kwingozi eyabulala bonke abantu abangama-228 ababekwinqwelomoya.
Isithethi se-EASA uDaniel Hoeltgen uthe i-arhente iya kumisela ukuba nayiphi na inqwelomoya ene-A330s kunye ne-A340s okwangoku ifakelwe i-Thales pitot probes kufuneka ifakelwe ubuncinci iiprobe ezimbini zeGoodrich. Oku kuvumela ubuninzi beThales ukuba buhlale bufakwe kwinqwelomoya.
I-Air France A330-200 yayisendleleni esuka eRio de Janeiro isiya eParis xa yafumana ulandelelwano olukhawulezayo lweengxaki zobuchwepheshe emva kokubetha isiphithiphithi ngoMvulo ophelileyo kwaye yangena eAtlantiki. Emva kwengozi, i-Airbus iye yalumkisa abasebenzi beenqwelo-moya ukuba balandele iinkqubo eziqhelekileyo ukuba bakrokrela ukuba izikhombisi zesantya ziphosakele, ebonisa ukuba ukungasebenzi kakuhle kwezobugcisa kunokuba negalelo kwingozi.
Isithethi se-Airbus uSchaffrath sathi: “Siyazi ukuba bekukho iingxaki kumlinganiselo wesantya somoya ngaphambi kokuwa kwenqwelomoya ye-Air France. Kodwa siyazi nokuba le ngxaki ibingekuphela konobangela wale ngozi.”
Isindululo esitsha sikwafuna ukuvala yonke into esetyenziswayo nayiphi na inguqulelo yangaphambili yemodeli efanayo yeThales speed probes efakwe kwi-Air France Flight 447. Uninzi lweendiza ze-Airbus ezihamba ixesha elide zixhotyiswe nge-Goodrich probes kwaye isincomo sixhalabisa kuphela malunga ne-200 ye I-1,000 ye-Airbus A330 kunye ne-A340s ibhabha ngokurhweba.
Abaphandi bengozi bathi bakrokrela ukuba iThales iphanda ngeFlight 447 igqwesile. Oku kubangele ukuba bathumele isantya sokufunda ngendlela ephosakeleyo kwikhompyutha yenqwelo-moya xa ifika kwisaqhwithi sendudumo.
Iinqwelomoya ezininzi sele ziqalisile ukubuyisela ezi monitor zesantya ngesizukulwana esilandelayo seThales probes. Nangona kunjalo, kule nyanga i-jet ye-Airbus A320 eyayixhotyiswe enye yale modeli mitsha ye-Thales probes nayo ayizange isebenze, nto leyo ekhokelele ekulahlekeni kokufutshane kokufundwa kwesantya kwaye yanyanzela umqhubi wenqwelomoya ukuba abhabhe ngesandla nge-st ngezixhobo.
Ingozi iza ngexesha elibi leenqwelo moya, esele zirhuqa indibanisela yohambo olubuthathaka kunye neemfuno zempahla, ukukhathazeka ngomkhuhlane kunye nokunyuka kwamaxabiso eoyile.
