Ma kahi kokoke o ka mokulele ʻo United jet a me Cessna mokulele

He kelepona pili loa ia, a ke noiʻi nei ka Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) a me ka National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). ʻO ka hope loa, ua lawe ka mea hoʻokele ea a me nā mea hoʻokele o ia mau mokulele e hoʻomaka i ka hana e pale aku i kahi hui ʻana o ka lewa.

Hoʻomaka koke nā manawa weliweli i ka lewa ma luna o ke kahua mokulele ʻo Kapalakiko ma hope koke o ka haʻalele ʻana o ka mokulele jumbo United Airlines. Holo ka mokulele 889 no Kina me 268 mau ohua a me nā hui. Hoʻomaopopo ka mea hoʻokele i kahi ʻae maʻamau no ka lele ʻana:

United Pilot: “Hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia no ka lele ʻana. United, um, triple 889.

Akā i ka piʻi ʻana o ka mokulele United ma 1,100 kapuaʻi, ʻike ka luna hoʻokele mokulele, ʻo ia hoʻi e pili pū ana me ka mea hoʻokele o ka Cessna liʻiliʻi, ua kokoke loa a pani nā mokulele. 'Ōleloʻo ia i ka mea hoʻokele Cessna e hele ma hope o ka mokulele United.

Manaʻo: "7-echo mālama zero separation ... hele ma hope o kēlā mokulele."

ʻO Cessna Pilot: "7-0 e hala ma hope ona."

A loaʻa iā ia nā kauoha no ka hui hui pū kekahi.

Manaʻo: "889 - hoʻomaka i ke poʻo i kou ʻākau, mālama i ka kaʻawale ʻike ʻia."

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Michael Barr o ka USC Aviation Safety & Security Program, "Ua huli ka mokulele māmā mai ka United Airline. ʻO ia ke ʻano o ka ʻike ʻana o ke kāpena i ka ʻaoʻao o lalo o kēlā mokulele, no laila ua kokoke loa."

No laila kokoke loa, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, he 300 kapuaʻi wale nō ka kaʻawale o nā mokulele a me ka 1,500 kapuaʻi ma ke kaʻawale. I loko o ka cockpit o ka United jet, kani ke kani ʻana o ka hoʻokuʻi ʻana, e ʻōlelo ana i nā mea hoʻokele e iho i lalo e pale aku i kahi ulia waena. Kapa ʻia ʻo ia he makaʻala TCAS. ʻAʻole hauʻoli ka hui o United, ʻoiai ʻo ia ka ihu o ka mokulele.

United Pilot: "ʻAe, ua hoʻomaka kēlā TCAS ... ʻo ia ... pono mākou e kamaʻilio."
