WASHINGTON, Juni 18, 2014 - FLYERSRIGHTS.ORG, umbutho omkhulu wokukhuthaza abakhweli, ukhuphe ingxelo malunga nokukhutshwa kwe-Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) ye-Extended Operations (ETOPS) ye-Boeing 787 Dreamliner kunye nokwamkelwa kwamva nje kwe-Boeing 787- 9 (imodeli yolula).
Imvume ye-ETOPS iyafuneka kwiinjini ezimbini zeenqwelomoya ezibhabha imigama emide ukusuka kwiindawo zokumisa. Kwintetho yokubhabha ngenqwelomoya iakhronimi ethi ETOPS imele “Iinjini Ukujika Okanye Ukuqubha kwaBakhweli”, ngenxa yokungaphumeleli kwe-injini kabini kukuhla okuthile okungxamisekileyo emanzini okanye ukuntlitheka emhlabeni xa kungekho zowuni yokumisa ekhoyo phakathi kwendlela yokutyibilika.
I-FAA ngoku ivumela ii-787s ukuba zisetyenziswe ukuya kuthi ga kwimizuzu engama-330 (iiyure ezi-5.5) kude nesikhululo seenqwelomoya, ukusuka kwimizuzu eyi-180 yangaphambili. Oku kuya kuvumela iinqwelomoya kwiindawo ezingenanto zolwandlekazi lwePasifiki kunye nolwandle lwaseIndiya, kunye nemimandla epholileyo engenazo iindawo zokumisa ezingxamisekileyo ngamawaka eemayile.
Ukuba nenjini enye inokusilela, inqwelo-moya eneenjini ezimbini ifanele icuthe isantya nokuphakama kwayo ngokuphawulekayo yaye iya kutshisa amafutha amaninzi kunesantya esiqhelekileyo sokuhamba ngeemitha ezingama-30,000 500 neekhilomitha ezingama-XNUMX ngeyure.
Ngokwesiqhelo, imvume ye-ETOPS ngaphaya kweeyure ze-2 ayinikwa de inqwelomoya ibe nobuncinci iminyaka emibini yokusebenza kwasimahla.
Le mvume ye-FAA yeza kuphela iveki enye emva kokuba iBhodi yeSizwe yoKhuseleko lwezoThutho (NTSB) ikhuphe isilumkiso sokuba isiqinisekiso sebhetri ye-787 sasinqongophele.
"Ingxelo yamva nje ye-NTSB kunye neziganeko ezininzi ezinxulumene nokhuseleko ukusukela ngo-Epreli ka-2013, kubandakanywa nesiseko sehlabathi jikelele kukuthembeka kunye nemiba yokhuseleko ngokucacileyo. Ukuvumela i-787, inqwelo-moya yeenjini ezimbini ezineempawu ezininzi ezizodwa, ukubhabha amawaka eekhilomitha ngokungapheliyo ukusuka kwindawo yokuma ekufutshane linyathelo elingazange libonwe ngaphambili,” watsho umongameli weFlyersRights.org, uPaul Hudson.
UMnu. Hudson uyilungu lexesha elide le-FAA ye-Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee, emele umdla wabakhweli beenqwelo-moya kwimiba yokhuseleko, kwaye ucele i-FAA ukuba ibe namaxwebhu axhasa ukuvunywa kwayo okungazange kubonwe ngaphambili kwemisebenzi eyandisiweyo ngaphaya kweeyure ze-2 ukusuka kwindawo yokumisa ekufutshane.
NgoMeyi ka-2013 i-FlyersRights.org yafaka isikhalazo esisemthethweni kwi-FAA kunye nobungqina bengcaphephe yebhetri ebuza ukhuseleko lweebhetri ze-Boeing 787 nangona i-encasement yezi bhetri eziguquguqukayo kwibhokisi yentsimbi xa kukho umlilo okanye ukuqhuma, kwaye icela ukunciphisa kwiiyure ze-2. ukusuka kwindawo yokuma ekufutshane.
Iingxaki ezininzi zebhetri ayizizo kuphela iingxaki zokhuseleko. Iinqwelomoya kuye kwafuneka zihambe ngobude obugqithisileyo ukuze zifezekiseke ukuthembeka okwamkelekileyo kunyaka wokuqala. Bona ku-http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324595704578240172467982196.html.
Ukuqukumbela, iFlyersRights.org ikhuthaza iCongress ukuba ithathele ingqalelo uxanduva lwayo kwaye ibambe iingxoxo kunye neengcali ezizimeleyo zokhuseleko kunye nabameli abakhweli ukuze kulungiswe iimbono eziphikisanayo ze-FAA kunye ne-NTSB. Unobhala we-DOT u-Anthony Foxx, ongaphandle kwee-arhente zombini, kufuneka abeke isigqibo se-FAA ETOPS ukuba sibambe ubuncinane unyaka, silindele iziphumo zophando olongezelelweyo, uvavanyo kunye namava okuthembeka kwe-787, eye yafumana ukuhla okungxamisekileyo okuninzi, ukucinywa kweenqwelomoya kunye neenqwelomoya. iziseko ukususela ngo-2012 ngenxa yeengxaki zoomatshini.
