Umqondo we-ATM we-Boeing Tailored Arrivals unciphisa ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli kanye nokukhipha umoya

E-SEATTLE, Washington – I-Boeing kanye nozakwethu embonini nakuhulumeni bathole ukwehla okukhulu ekusetshenzisweni kukaphethiloli kanye nokukhishwa kwe-carbon dioxide ngesikhathi kuthunyelwa kwakamuva umqondo omusha we-Air Traffic Management (ATM) obizwa ngokuthi, Ukufika Kwe-Tailored.

Kusukela ngomhla ka-4 Disemba 2007 kuya ku-March 23, 2008, i-United Airlines, i-Air New Zealand kanye ne-Japan Airlines yaqeda izindiza ezingu-57 eziya e-San Francisco International Airport ezisebenzise ukwehla okuqhubekayo kunochungechunge lwamasegimenti ngeleveli njengoba kudingeka manje. Indlela Yokufika Okuthuthukisiwe yehlise ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli phakathi nokwehla ngamaphesenti afika kwangu-39, kuye ngohlobo lwendiza, kanye nengqikithi yokukhishwa kwekhabhoni ngamaphawundi angaphezu kuka-500,000.

"Imibono efana nokufika okulungiselelwe ingase isetshenziswe ngokushesha nangezindleko eziphansi ngoba ubuchwepheshe bukhona namuhla," kusho uKevin Brown, iphini likamongameli we-Boeing kanye nomphathi jikelele we-Air Traffic Management. “Njengoba izindiza eziningi nezikhumulo zezindiza ziyisebenzisa, sisondela ekufinyeleleni izinzuzo ezilindelwe ku-Next-Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen).”

Ukufika Okulungiselelwe kuvumela izindiza ukuthi zisebenzise ngokugcwele ubuchwepheshe bokuxhumanisa idatha ukusuka emoyeni ukuya phansi ukuze zehlele esikhumulweni sezindiza ezinokulawulwa okuncane kokulawulwa kwezindiza okuqondile (ATC). Iphrojekthi incike kubuchwepheshe obubalulekile obuhlinzekwa yi-US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) kanye ne-NASA. Isistimu ye-FAA's Ocean 21 iletha idatha futhi yenza lula ukuxhumana phakathi kwabasebenzi basendizeni kanye nezilawuli zethrafikhi yasemoyeni. Umeluleki Wokwehla emzileni we-NASA (EDA) uhlanganisa izixazululo zokwehla ezonga uphethiloli.

Izinkampani zezindiza ezibandakanyeka ezindizeni zaseSan Francisco zisebenzisa izindiza ze-Boeing 777-200ER kanye ne-747-400. Ngokwesilinganiso, izindlela zokufika eziphelele zokufika kwe-Tailored Tailored zanciphisa ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli kwama-777s ngamaphawundi angu-1,303 endizeni ngayinye, noma cishe amaphesenti angama-34. Kuma-747s, ukongiwa bekungamaphawundi angama-2,291, noma cishe amaphesenti angama-39.

Ngisho nokusetshenziswa kancane kwendlela yokufika okulungiselelwe, okwenzeka ezindizeni ezengeziwe ezingu-119, kukhiqize ukonga kukaphethiloli okungamaphawundi angama-379 indiza ngayinye kuma-777s kanye namaphawundi angu-1,100 indiza ngayinye kwabangu-747.

Umzamo waseSan Francisco waqala njengephrojekthi yokuthuthukisa phakathi kwe-Boeing ne-NASA futhi uyaqhubeka ngokubambisana ne-FAA. Kuphinde kube yingxenye yohlelo lwamazwe ngamazwe lokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli kanye nokukhishwa kwekhabhoni.

Izinqubo Zokufika Okulungiselelwe zizosetshenziswa ngasekupheleni kwalo nyaka esikhumulweni sezindiza samazwe ngamazwe e-Miami njengengxenye yohlelo oluhlanganyelwe lwe-FAA-European Commission ukuze kusheshiswe ukuqaliswa okungokoqobo kokuthuthukiswa kokuphathwa kwethrafikhi yezindiza ezinqamula i-Atlantiki ezinganciphisa ukungcola nomsindo.
