I-DOT's LaHood ithi ukufihla urhulumente kukwiintaka

WASHINGTON — Urhulumente uvula ingxelo yakhe yamashumi amawaka eentaka ezingquzulane neenqwelomoya, njengengozi ekhokelele i-US Airways Flight 1549 ukuba iye kumlambo iHudson.

Unobhala wezoThutho uRay LaHood, ebambelele kwisithembiso sika-Obama sokuvuleleka ngakumbi, wasishiya isindululo esinempikiswano sokugcina iirekhodi ziyimfihlo.

ULaHood uthe ekubeni i-White House yaziva ikhululekile ukukhupha iimemo kutshanje malunga nokuncinwa ngokufihlakeleyo kwabarhanelwa bobunqolobi, kwakunzima ukuthethelela isicwangciso soLawulo lwezoBuphephelo lwezoPhapho ukubamba ulwazi malunga neentaka ezibhabha kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya.

“Ukubhengezwa esidlangalaleni ngumsebenzi wethu,” ubhale uLaHood ngoLwesithathu kwibhlog yakhe esemthethweni. "Utshintsho lolwandle ekuhleni kukarhulumente luyaqala, kwaye sonwabile ukuba yinxalenye yalo."

I-FAA ithe kwisiteyitimenti ukuba iyakuthumela idatha kwi-Intanethi ngolwesiHlanu.

Izikhululo zeenqwelo moya kunye neenqwelomoya bezinikezela ngokuzithandela ingxelo ngoqhanqalazo lweentaka kwi-FAA phantse amashumi amabini eminyaka. I-FAA yenzela uluntu olunye ulwazi, kodwa ibe yinkqubo ye-arhente ukubamba ulwazi oluthile malunga nezikhululo zeenqwelomoya kunye neenqwelomoya, okwenza kube nzima ukuba uluntu lufunde, umzekelo, ukuba zeziphi izikhululo zeenqwelomoya ezinengxaki enkulu yeentaka kwaye ezingenayo.

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, amagosa e-FAA athe kubalulekile ukugcina ulwazi oluthile eluntwini kuba lunokutyhafisa ukunika ingxelo ngokuzithandela. Ulwazi lunokuba neentloni kwezinye izikhululo zeenqwelomoya ezinamanani aphezulu oqhankqalazo lweentaka.

Emva kokurhoxa kwe-US Airways, i-Associated Press yacela ukufikelela kuvimba weenkcukacha woqhankqalazo lweentaka we-FAA, oqulethe ngaphezulu kwe-100,000 yeengxelo zogwayimbo.

Ngelixa kusaqhutywa isicelo se-AP's Freedom of Information Act, i-FAA ngo-Matshi 19 yapapasha ngokuzolileyo isindululo kwiRejista ye-Federal ukugcina ulwazi oluyimfihlo malunga nokuba iintaka zenzeke phi kwaye nini. Ibonelele ngeentsuku ezingama-30 zokuba uluntu luhlomle.

Enye into eyothusayo phakathi kwezimvo zoluntu ezifunyenwe yi-FAA yaba yimpendulo kwiqela eliphambili lorhwebo kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya zase-US. I-Airports Council International-North America ixelele i-FAA ukuba izikhululo zeenqwelo moya zamalungu ayo zahlukene kulo mba ngoko ke "ayinakuthatha sikhundla nokuba ixhasa okanye ichase" imfihlo.

U-Debby McElroy, usekela mongameli webhunga, uthe ngoku ukuba iLaHood ithathe isigqibo sokukhulula idatha, i-FAA kufuneka ibonelele ngolwazi olucacileyo "ukunceda uluntu kunye namajelo eendaba ekusebenziseni idatha ngokufanelekileyo."

Olona xanduva lokunciphisa ukuntlithwa kweentaka luwela kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya, ezihlala zineenkqubo ezininzi zokutyhafisa iintaka ekuzaleleni kufutshane.

Ukubetha kweentaka ezininzi kwenzeka ngexesha lokunduluka nokuhla xa iinqwelomoya zibhabha kwindawo esezantsi. Ukubetha kweentaka ezininzi akuxelwa, ngakumbi ezo zibandakanya iintaka ezincinci kwaye akukho monakalo kwinqwelomoya.

Uqhankqalazo olubi ngokwaneleyo olunokubangela umonakalo ludla ngokuxelwa ngabaqhubi beenqwelo-moya kwinkampani yabo. Abakhandi beenqwelo moya ngamanye amaxesha bafumanisa umonakalo weentaka xa belungisa iinqwelomoya, kwaye abasebenzi besikhululo seenqwelomoya abagcina iindlela zeenqwelomoya zicocekile kububutyobo bahlala befumana iintaka ezifileyo.

NgoLwesithathu, iBhodi yeSizwe yoKhuseleko lwezoThutho yakhupha ileta engavumelaniyo nesicwangciso seFAA. Usihlalo obambeleyo we-NTSB uMark Rosenker uthe kwileta ukuba ukubamba idatha kunokuthintela amandla abaphandi abazimeleyo ukuthelekisa inqanaba lokubetha kweentaka kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya kunye neenqwelomoya.

Uthelekiso olunjalo "luyasebenza" kwaye lunokunceda kwiinzame zokhuseleko, yatsho le leta.

“Ibhodi yezokhuseleko ikholelwa ukuba ukufikelela koluntu kuzo zonke iinkcukacha ezikwi-FAA Wildlife Strike Database kubaluleke kakhulu ekuhlalutyweni nasekuthomalaliseni ingxaki yoqhankqalazo lwezilwanyana zasendle, kwaye ibhodi ayivumelani kakhulu nesindululo se-FAA sokuthintela ukufikelela koluntu kwezi nkcukacha,” utshilo. ileta.

Ibhodi yokhuseleko yacebisa kwi-FAA ngo-1999 ukuba ifuna ukuba iinkampani zeenqwelo moya zixele lonke ugwayimbo lweentaka, kodwa i-arhente yakhetha ukunamathela kwinkqubo yokunika ingxelo ngokuzithandela nangona amagosa e-FAA evuma ukuba liqhezu logwayimbo lweentaka ekugqibeleni lixeliwe.
