I-Emirates isendaweni yokulawula umonakalo ngemuva kokuphuthelwa eduze

I-Emirates Airlines ingaphansi kokulawula umonakalo ngemuva kokuba indiza enabagibeli abangu-275 kanye nezisebenzi zifike emizuzwini embalwa yengozi eyenzeke esikhumulweni sezindiza saseMelbourne ngoba umshayeli wendiza ehlohle izinombolo ezingalungile kukhompuyutha.

Inkampani yezindiza iqinise izinqubo zokuphepha yathumela ithimba lezikhulu eziphezulu e-Australia ukuyoqinisekisa izikhulu zezokuthutha njengoba leli phutha lidalulwe izolo ngabaphenyi base-Australian Transport Safety Bureau.

Indiza yabagibeli i-Airbus ibizabalaza ukwehla futhi icishe iphahlazeke igcwele uphethiloli ngesikhathi ukapteni wayo esebenzisa uhlelo oluphuthumayo ukuze akhiphe izilungiselelo zikagesi ezizenzakalelayo. Ngaleso sikhathi indiza yayiqhuma ibheke ngasekugcineni komzila wezindiza futhi ihamba eduze kuka-300km/h.

Umqondisi we-Australian Transport Safety Bureau we-Aviation Safety Investigations, uJulian Walsh, izolo uthe othile osegumbini labasebenzi ungenise kukhompyutha isisindo sendiza esasilula ngamathani angu-100 kunesisindo sayo sangempela esingamathani angu-362. Lokho kwakusho ukuthi i-computer yendiza yayisebenzisa amandla amancane kakhulu kunalawo ayedingeka ukuze indiza ikhuphuke ngokuphepha isuke emzileni wezindiza.

Umsizi womshayeli wayeshayela indiza futhi ngisho nakukapteni wasebenzisa amandla aphuthumayo umsila we-Airbus washaya umgwaqo izikhathi ezintathu.

Ilimaze amalambu endlela yezindiza futhi isondo elingaphansi kwenqola liphahlaze i-antenna yesistimu yokumisa insimbi ekugcineni komgwaqo.

Labe selikhuhla indawo ebalekela utshani kabili ngesivinini esikhulu.

Abasebenzi balahle uphethiloli base bebuyela endaweni ephephile esikhumulweni sezindiza saseMelbourne. Akekho olimele.

UMnu Walsh uzichithile izimangalo ezingelona iqiniso neze ukuthi umshayeli wendiza usebenzise uphethiloli onganele ephendula umyalelo we-Emirates ukonga imali noma ukuthi abashayeli bezindiza bebekhathele amahora amade nokungalali.

Ekhipha umbiko wokuqala eCanberra, uMnu Walsh uthe uphenyo manje seluzogxila ezintweni zomuntu zokuthi kungani izinombolo ezingalungile zifakwe kwikhompyutha ephathekayo eyaziwa ngokuthi “isikhwama sendiza ye-elekthronikhi”.

Uphenyo luzoba lude, kusho uMnu Walsh.

Kodwa akashongo ukuthi i-Flight EK-407 isondele kangakanani enhlekeleleni. "Ukuqagela ukuthi sekusondele kangakanani ukuphahlazeka akusizi kangako," kusho uMnu Walsh.

"Sonke siyabona ukuthi lesi bekuwumcimbi onzima kakhulu."

Uthe akukho okukhombisa ukuthi kukhona inkinga ngendiza.

“Siyazi ukuthi kungani indiza ibe nenkinga. Kungenxa yokuthi lesi sisindo besingalungile,” kusho uMnu Walsh. Uthe abezimo eziphuthumayo banikeze abasebenzi izinombolo ezifanele futhi abaphenyi bebezama ukuthola ukuthi izinombolo ezingalungile zifakwe kanjani.

Izikhulu ze-Emirates zithe izolo ebusuku inkampani yezindiza isheshe yafaka i-laptop eyisipele emakamelweni endiza yayo ukuze igweme ukuphinda lesi sigameko.

Lezi zikhulu zithe inkampani yezindiza izenzela owayo uphenyo ukuze ithole ukuthi lenzeka kanjani leli phutha ukuze liphinde lingenzeki.

Bathe kuzothathwa isinqumo maduze mayelana nokuthi ibhanoyi lizolungiswa yini eMelbourne noma liyiswe eFrance ukuze lilungiswe.

I-Emirates ithe ukuphepha kwabagibeli, abasebenzi kanye nezindiza yinto ehamba phambili kuyo futhi lesi sigameko sibhekwa njengento ebaluleke kakhulu emazingeni aphezulu enkampani.

Inkampani yezindiza ithe indiza yenza ukunciphisa amandla okusuka, kodwa lokho ngokuvamile kuzobandakanya umkhawulo wokuphepha kwamandla ka-15%.

Abashayeli bezindiza ababili bashiye emsebenzini ngokushesha ngemuva kokubuyela eDubai.
