Ndege ya Air NZ'f NZ8 imachepetsa kuyaka ndi kutulutsa mafuta

Air New Zealand yakwezanso chikhalidwe chamakampani opanga ndege atamaliza zomwe zimatchedwa "ndege imodzi yabwino" kuchokera ku Auckland kupita ku San Francisco Lachisanu latha.

Ndegeyo - NZ8 - m'dziko loyamba, idagwiritsa ntchito njira zotsogola komanso njira zoyendetsera ndege kuti ziwotche ndi kutulutsa mafuta kwambiri.

"Zinaposa zonse zomwe tinkayembekezera," ndi momwe woyang'anira wamkulu wa Air NZ ndi chitetezo David Morgan adafotokozera mwachidule za ndegeyo.

NZ8, yotchedwa ASPIRE 1 (Asia ndi South Pacific Initiative to Reduce Emissions), inagwiritsa ntchito malita 4600, kapena 4 peresenti, mafuta ocheperapo kusiyana ndi nthawi zonse pogwiritsa ntchito njira zambiri zochepetsera mafuta.

Kupulumutsa kumeneko kumasuliridwa kukhala matani 12 ochepera CO2.

ASPIRE ndi ntchito yogwirizana pakati pa Federal Aviation Administration, Airways NZ ndi Airservices Australia.

Othandizirawa ali ndi mbiri yakale yogwira ntchito limodzi, kuphatikizapo kuyambitsa Future Air Navigation Services (FANS) ndi ndege monga Air NZ ndi Qantas, Boeing ndi ogwira nawo ntchito m'ma 1990.

Apaulendo pa NZ8 adayankhulidwa ndi Captain Morgan asananyamuke ku Auckland ndipo adawafotokozera za kufunikira kwa ndegeyo kuchokera ku chilengedwe.

MA FANS, pogwiritsa ntchito ulalo wa data kudzera pa ma satelayiti, athandizira oyang'anira zamayendedwe apandege kuti apatse ndege njira zambiri zosungira mafuta.

Kwa ndege ya ASPIRE, Air NZ idagwiritsa ntchito "nthawi yake yowonjezera mafuta" kuti atsirize katundu wa mafuta pamene okwera ndi katundu weniweni adadziwika.

Captain Morgan adanena kuti mpaka posachedwapa, ndege zambiri zakhala zikuyerekeza - pamtunda wapamwamba - mafuta ofunikira, zomwe zinachititsa kuti ndege zifike ndi mafuta ochulukirapo kuposa zofunikira zolamulira, zomwe zinakweza mafuta chifukwa cha kulemera kowonjezera.

Datalink idagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati kuli kotheka kulumikizana ndi ATC, ndipo kuvomereza kukankhira kumbuyo ndi chilolezo cha taxi zidalandiridwa kudzera pa datalink. Chilolezo chonyamuka chokha chinalandiridwa ndi mawu.

Kukwera kwamphamvu kwamphamvu kunagwiritsidwa ntchito kufika pamtunda woyamba wa 33,000ft kuti apulumutse mafuta ndipo pambuyo pake ndegeyo idakonzedwa mpaka 39,000ft pamasitepe atatu a 2000ft.

Oyendetsa ndege amagwiritsa ntchito kutsika kwamphamvu kwamagetsi ndikukwera kuti achepetse nthawi pakati pa kukonzanso injini. Koma ndi mtengo wamafuta okwera kwambiri, ndikofunikira kukwera kuti mukwere mwachangu momwe mungathere, akutero Captain Morgan.

Atanyamuka pa 0746 GMT kuchoka pa Runway 23L, Captain Mark Shepherd, katswiri woyendetsa kayendetsedwe ka ndege ku Air NZ, adakhotera kumanja ndipo anali womasuka panjira iliyonse yomwe angafune kupita ku San Francisco.

Pa 1024GMT, Captain Shepherd adalandira dongosolo latsopano la ndege pogwiritsa ntchito Dynamic Airborne Re-routing (DARP), yomwe imasintha nyengo ndi zitsanzo za mphepo padziko lonse maola asanu ndi limodzi aliwonse.

Dongosolo latsopano la ndege lidatenga ma 777-200ER 100 nautical miles kum'mawa kwa njira yake yoyamba kuti itenge mphepo zabwino kwambiri.

Ndegeyo itayandikira ku San Francisco, Captain Shepherd adalandira chilolezo kuchokera ku Oakland Center kuti ifike molingana ndi msewu wa 28L wa San Francisco.

Kufika kogwirizana ndi kutsika kosalekeza kukafika pamtunda ndipo Air New Zealand 777-200ER idangogwiritsa ntchito mphamvu pang'ono pomwe idakhotera kumanzere kupita ku ILS glideslope panjira ya 28L.

Kuti amalize "kuuluka kwabwino", Captain Shepherd adagwiritsa ntchito malo oyenda okha ndikugunda mphindi zisanu pasadakhale nthawi ya 12.35pm nthawi yakomweko.

San Francisco ikuchita gawo lotsogola ndi omwe afika moyenerera - mgwirizano pakati pa Boeing, NASA, Federal Aviation Administration ndi eyapoti - ndipo, malinga ndi woyang'anira wogwirizira wa FAA Robert Sturgell, "ofika 639 ogwirizana adachitika pa eyapoti - 186 amaliza. ndi 453 pang'ono".

Ndege zinayi - United, JAL, ANA ndi Qantas - akugwiritsanso ntchito obwera moyenerera.

Air NZ idakhazikitsa ofika moyenerera ku San Francisco mu Januwale ndipo mpaka kumapeto kwa Meyi idapulumutsa 69,410kg ya mpweya wa CO2. United Airlines ndi Qantas atsatira, ndi mayeso a ASPIRE m'miyezi ingapo ikubwerayi.

Ndegeyo itatha, Ashley Smout, wamkulu wa Airways New Zealand, wopereka ntchito zapanyanja mdzikolo (ANSP), adati ndegeyo ndi "gawo laling'ono la anthu". A Sturgell adawonjezera kuti linali "tsiku labwino kwambiri loyendetsa ndege".

Koma vuto la makampaniwa ndiloti ngakhale linalidi tsiku lopambana, linali sitepe laling'ono chabe ndipo chifukwa cholephera kuyendetsa bwino kayendetsedwe ka ndege ndikuwonjezera pakati pa 12 ndi 18 peresenti pamitengo yamafuta andege motero kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe, pakufunika zambiri. zichitike.

Padziko lonse lapansi, madera awiri omwe ali ndi vuto lalikulu ndi Europe ndi US, komwe ma ANSP ambiri kapena dongosolo lachikale likuwononga zinyalala.

Bungwe la International Air Transport Association linati akamawongolera kayendetsedwe ka ndege ku Ulaya, akhoza kuchepetsa mtengo wamafuta amafuta andege ndipo motero mpweya umatulutsa ndi 12 peresenti.

Ku US, Congress ikuyenda pang'onopang'ono ndi ndalama za Next Gen air traffic management system. Ngakhale zili zoletsa ndalamazo, FAA ikupita patsogolo ngati kuli kotheka.

Mkulu wa Air NZ Rob Fyfe adauza atolankhani ndege isananyamuke kuti sichinali "kudodometsa kwa anthu".

"Mukayamba kuchulukitsa ndalama zomwe mwasunga pamaulendo athu apandege ndikuzigwiritsa ntchito kumakampani ena andege, mumazindikira kuthekera kochepetsera matani mamiliyoni ambiri amafuta ndi mpweya wa carbon dioxide," adatero Fyfe.

Ndege ya Air NZ inatsindika udindo wa utsogoleri wa chilengedwe cha ndegeyo.

M'mwezi wa Disembala, ndegeyo ikuyenera kuyendetsa ndege ya Boeing 747 jumbo jet yoyendetsedwa pang'ono ndi mafuta oyeretsedwa kuchokera ku mbewu za jatropha, chomera chomwe chikukula mwachangu chomwe chimatha kukhalabe m'malo owuma komanso osalowa m'malo mwa mbewu.

Ndi ndege yokhayo yomwe idasindikiza mapulani ogwiritsira ntchito jatropha pa 10 peresenti yamafuta ake pofika chaka cha 2013.

A Fyfe adati ndegeyo ili ndi "njira zitatu zosakambitsirana" zomwe mafuta aliwonse okhazikika ayenera kukwaniritsa pulogalamu yake yachilengedwe. Iye anati: “Ziyenera kukhala zosamalira chilengedwe osati kupikisana ndi zakudya zomwe zilipo kale. Kachiwiri, mafutawo akuyenera kukhala abwino kuposa omwe timagwiritsa ntchito masiku ano ndipo pomaliza ayenera kukhala otsika mtengo kuposa mafuta omwe alipo kale. ”
