Abalawuli abavela kwihlabathi liphela badibana namhlanje eTexas (USA), ukuxoxa ngokubuyela okunokwenzeka kwinkonzo yeBoeing 737 MAX esekiweyo. I-FAA ngoku iphonononga 'ulungiso lwesoftware' olucetywayo lukaBoeing kwaye sele ijonge phambili ekubuyiseleni inqwelomoya esibhakabhakeni.
Kubaqhubi beenqwelomoya baseYurophu, emva kokulandela ngokusondeleyo uphuhliso kunye nezityhilelo kwiinyanga ezidlulileyo, kuyakhathaza kakhulu ukuba zombini i-FAA kunye ne-Boeing bacinga ngokubuyela enkonzweni, kodwa basilela ukuxoxa ngemibuzo emininzi ecela umngeni ebangelwa yifilosofi yoyilo lwe-MAX. Ngokukodwa, ingaba uyilo kunye noseto lolawulo oluthi lwasilela ekuqaleni ngokuvuma ukungena kwinkonzo yenqwelomoya eneziphene, lunike isisombululo ngaphandle kohlaziyo olubalulekileyo? I-Arhente yoKhuseleko lwe-Aviation yaseYurophu inendima ephambili ekufuneka iyidlalile inika isiqinisekiso esicacileyo, esizimeleyo kubaqhubi beenqwelo-moya nabakhenkethi baseYurophu.
UJon Horne, uMongameli we-ECA uthi: "I-Boeing kufuneka izise ingcaciso malunga noyilo kunye nefilosofi emi emva kwayo. Kuyabonakala ukuba inye kuphela inzwa eyakhethwayo ukondla inkqubo ebalulekileyo njenge-MCAS, iyenza ibe sesichengeni kakhulu. Akukho mava asebenzayo ale nkqubo - nokuba iyasebenza okanye ayiphumelelanga - kwaye ifakwe kwindawo yokuqala ukuchasana neempawu zokuphatha ezingamkelekanga, yayiyinxalenye yeemfuno zoqeqesho lokulinga. Konke oku ukwenza ukuba inqwelomoya ihlelwe njengohlobo oluqhelekileyo kunye ne-737s yangaphambili, ukuphepha ukuqeqeshwa 'kohlobo-uhlobo' olubiza kakhulu kubaqhubi be-737 abatshintshela kwi-MAX. Ngaba umnqweno wokuthengisa uhlobo oluqhelekileyo lokulinganisa ubekwe phambili kuyilo olukhuselekileyo lwenqwelomoya ngokwayo? Ngaba zikho ezinye iinkqubo apho ingqiqo yoyilo efanayo isetyenzisiwe? Asazi. Kodwa sithi, abaqhubi beenqwelo-moya, ekufuneka sazi ukuba siza kuyiqhuba ngokukhuselekileyo inqwelo-moya yethu. Uluhlu lwethu lwemibuzo evulekileyo luba lude ngemini. Kuxhomekeke kwi-Boeing kunye ne-FAA ukuba ekugqibeleni bathathe uxanduva kwaye bacace ngale nto. "
Iziganeko zakutsha nje, ezibandakanya iingozi ezimbini ezimanyumnyezi, zibeka ingqalelo kwiziphene ezibalulekileyo eziye zaphuhliswa kwinkqubo malunga noyilo, iziqinisekiso, ulawulo kunye noqeqesho olwaneleyo. Inyani yokuba ngexesha lenkqubo yokuqinisekisa bobabini umenzi kunye nabasemagunyeni kunzima ukwahlula, ixhalabisa kakhulu. Le modeli 'yesatifikethi esigunyazisiweyo' esongamele imeko ye-MAX, kunye nabaqhubi bezorhwebo abafanayo, kunokwenzeka ukuba babekho kwezinye iinkqubo zenqwelomoya kunye nemimandla, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka ivavanywe eYurophu.
UJon Horne uthi: "I-Boeing yakha inqwelomoya kuluhlu lomnqweno oza kuthengisa kakuhle - ukuhlangabezana nefuthe elinomtsalane, iindleko kunye neemetrics zokusebenza, kunye neemfuno zoqeqesho lomqhubi wenqwelomoya," utshilo uJon Horne. "Kodwa ingxaki kukuba kubonakala ngathi kwakungekho mlawuli ozimeleyo ukujonga oku nzulu kwimbono yokhuseleko kwaye ahlolisise oko kubonakala ngathi yifilosofi yoyilo eqhutywa zizinto eziphambili zentengiso. Into ethe yatyhilwa kukubek' iliso kunye nokusekwa kwemithetho okushiya ukuthembana kwabaqhubi kunye nokuzithemba kujongelwe phantsi kakhulu. Kwaye umbuzo ocacileyo othi qatha engqondweni ngulo: Singaba nentembelo njani ekulungiseni i-MCAS, inkqubo esele ilulungiso lokuphatha iimpawu ebezingenakuqinisekiswa ngenye indlela? Ngaba ezinye iindawo zoyilo apho ukutyhala inqwelomoya ngesatifikethi (njengohlobo oluqhelekileyo), ezinobuthathaka obufanayo? Ngaba abaqhubi kunye neenkqubo ezifanayo zikhona kwezinye iinkqubo zenqwelomoya ezinophawu olufanayo? "
Imibuzo abanayo abaqhubi beenqwelo moya baseYurophu ingaphezulu kolwazi olunikezelweyo ngoku nguBoeing kunye neFAA. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, siya kuthembela kakhulu kwi-Arhente yoKhuseleko lwe-Aviation yaseYurophu (i-EASA) ukuba ihlolisise kwaye ichaze isatifikethi kunye nokubuya okunokwenzeka kwinkonzo ye-MAX. Ngaphezulu kokuzibophezela okuqinileyo kuMlawuli oyiNtloko we-EASA uPatrick Ky kwiKomiti yezoThutho yePalamente ye-EU ngomhla we-18 kaMatshi, i-Arhente iphinde ichaze 'imiqathango efunekayo' yokuvumela i-MAX ibuyele emoyeni: naluphi na utshintsho loyilo lwe-Boeing luya kuvunywa yi-EASA kwaye igunyaziswe; uphononongo olongezelelweyo loyilo oluzimeleyo luya kuqhutywa yi-Arhente; kwaye abasebenzi benqwelomoya be-MAX "baqeqeshwe ngokwaneleyo".
“Sizixhasa ngokupheleleyo iimeko ezifunekayo ze-EASA,” utshilo uJon Horne. “Kwaye siyaluqonda uxinzelelo olukhulu i-Arhente ephantsi kwayo ukuba icokiseke, kodwa ikhawuleze; uzimele, ukanti unentsebenziswano. Siyazi ukuba esi ayisosimo esinqwenelekayo ukuba sibe kuso. Kodwa i-Arhente kufuneka ikwazi ukumelana nalo naluphi na uxinzelelo kwaye yenze uphononongo oluzimeleyo nolucokisekileyo. Ukwamkela nje ilizwi le-FAA kukhuseleko lwe-MAX akuyi kwanela.
