Will you continue the flight or return to land if you encounter an air conditioning system failure?若遇到空调系统故障,你会继续飞行还是返场着陆
参考答案(飞行员应答)
(1)Based on my knowledge, on large commercial aircraft like the B737-800, there are two A/C packs. If one pack fails, most of the time we can continue the flight. We select a suitable flight level. If two packs fail, we have to request a lower level because it may affect the aircraft’s pressurization, and passengers may feel very uncomfortable in the cabin. Anyway, in both cases, the first priority is to maintain control of the aircraft, keeping the airspeed and attitude stable. Next, we will follow the SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) and perform the checklist, trying to solve the problem. If the problem can be resolved, we will continue the flight. If the problem cannot be solved, we will inform ATC of our situation, request to return to land or divert to the nearest suitable airport. After landing, we will ask ground mechanics to inspect the aircraft.
就我所知,像 B737 - 800 这类大型商用飞机,配有两套空调组件。若一套组件故障,多数情况下我们可继续飞行,选定合适的飞行高度层即可。若两套组件都故障,就得申请降低高度层,因为这可能影响飞机增压,客舱内乘客也会感到极度不适。无论哪种情况,首要任务是保持对飞机的控制,维持空速和姿态稳定。接着,我们会依照标准操作程序(SOP)执行检查单,尝试解决问题。若问题得以解决,就继续飞行;若无法解决,会向空中交通管制(ATC)报告情况,申请返场着陆或转飞至最近的合适机场。着陆后,会安排地面机械师检查飞机
(2)If the air conditioning system fails during takeoff, we will return to land. Because if the air conditioning system fails, the temperature will become too high or too low, and the pressurization system may malfunction, which could affect flight safety.若起飞阶段空调系统故障,我们会返场着陆。因为空调系统失效后,机内温度会过高或过低,增压系统也可能故障,进而影响飞行安全
