E-WASHINGTON - Abaqulunqi bezomthetho bahambela ukuvala ukusetyenziswa kwee-laptops zekhompyutheni kunye nezinye izixhobo zombane zomntu kwii-cockpits ze-airline ukukhusela esinye isiganeko esifana ne-Northwest Airlines yendiza eyadlula i-Minneapolis ngeekhilomitha ezili-150.
USen. Byron Dorgan, usihlalo wekomitana yezomoya, uthe kudliwano-ndlebe ukuba abasebenzi bakhe basebenza kumthetho oyilwayo alindele ukuwazisa malunga neveki. Uthe wamangaliswa kukufunda emva kwesiganeko se-Oct. 21 ukuba i-Federal Aviation Administration ayithinteli ngokuthe ngqo abaqhubi beenqwelo-moya ukuba basebenzise ii-laptops, abadlali beDVD, abadlali beMP3 kunye nezinye izixhobo ngexesha lokuhamba ngaphandle kweenyawo ezingaphantsi kwe-10,000 ngelixa inqwelomoya isuka okanye ihla. .
Abaqhubi ababini be-Northwest Flight 188 baxelele abaphandi beBhodi yeSizwe yoKhuseleko lwezoThutho ukuba abazange baqaphele iinzame eziphindaphindiweyo zabalawuli bezithuthi zomoya kunye nabathumeli beenqwelo-moya ukuba baqhagamshelane nabo kuba babesebenza kwinkqubo entsha yokucwangcisa abasebenzi kwiilaptops zabo. Inqwelomoya eyayithwele abakhweli be-144 yayingaphandle konxibelelwano naye nabani na osemhlabeni kangangemizuzu engama-91, nto leyo eyabangela ukuba umkhosi ulungele iijethi zokulwa ukuze ziqalise kunye negumbi lemeko le-White House ukuba lilumkise amagosa aphezulu e-White House.
Inqwelomoya yasondela ngaphaya kwendawo eyayisiya kuyo iMinneapolis ngaphambi kokuba abaqhubi beenqwelo moya baxelelwe ngemeko yabo ngumlindi wenqwelomoya. Ngelo xesha, inqwelomoya phezu Wisconsin.
“Ngoku siyaqonda kule nqwelomoya ubuncinci ukuba le nto inokwenzeka kwaye kufanele ukuba kubekho ukuqonda okucace ngakumbi kuye wonke umntu okwi-cockpit ukuba kukho umgangatho wesizwe onokuthi uthintele oku kwaye kufuneka bayithathele ingqalelo,” utshilo uDorgan. DN.D.
I-Delta Air Lines, eyafumana uMntla-ntshona kulo nyaka uphelileyo, inomgaqo-nkqubo othintela ukusetyenziswa kweelaptops zobuqu ngabaqhubi beenqwelomoya ngexesha lokubhabha. I-airline iye yamisa abaqhubi ababini - uTimothy Cheney waseGig Harbour, Wash., Umthetheli, kunye noRichard Cole waseSalem, Ore., Igosa lokuqala - lilindele uphando. I-FAA iye yarhoxisa iilayisensi zomqhubi wenqwelomoya, kwaye i-NTSB iphanda unobangela wesiganeko.
UDorgan uthe ulindele ukuba isindululo sakhe ekugqibeleni sisongelwe kumthetho oyilwayo wenqwelomoya omkhulu olindelweyo phambi kweSenethi. Kwakhona wathi akalindelanga nayiphi na inkcaso kulo mlinganiselo.
USenni Robert Menendez, DN.J., ukwathe ufuna ukwazisa umthetho wokuthintela abaqhubi beenqwelomoya ukuba basebenzise iilaptops kunye nezinye izixhobo zomntu ngexesha lokubhabha, kunye nezinye iisenenja ezininzi zivakalise inkxaso yokuvalwa kwendibano kwiveki ephelileyo.
UDorgan uthe ityala lakhe liza kwenza ngaphandle “kwiingxowa zenqwelomoya zombane” - iilaptops ezinezixhobo zokuhamba ezikhutshelwe abaqhubi beenqwelo moya zezinye iinqwelomoya.
