据空中交通管制录音显示,周三,美国航空一名飞行员在夏洛特机场被迫“猛踩刹车”,以避免与一辆卡车相撞。
录音中,可以听到这架美国航空1197号航班的飞行员对坡道管制员说:“他们直接从我们面前开过去了。我们差点撞上他们。我不得不猛踩刹车。”
这名飞行员随后解释说,当时他打开了滑行灯,飞机正在滑行,那辆卡车突然从旁边疾驰而过。他描述那是一辆用于机场作业的黑白配色皮卡。
“必须立刻有人去通报这件事,”飞行员说道,“这太离谱了。”
事故发生时,这架美国航空的飞机似乎正离开北卡罗来纳州该机场的廊桥区,前往跑道。根据航班追踪网站FlightAware的数据,这架飞往华盛顿特区罗纳德·里根国家机场的航班从夏洛特准点起飞。
“夏洛特道格拉斯国际机场(CLT)获悉了这起报道中的事件,涉及美国航空一架飞机和一辆CLT地面车辆,周三上午在登机口附近滑行时发生碰撞,”该机场发言人在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的一份声明中说道,并补充道:“安全保障是CLT的首要任务。”
机场发言人表示,该事件正“按照安全标准”进行调查。
美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)的一名发言人告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,该机构正在“调查”这起事件。这起事故发生在纽约拉瓜迪亚机场一架加拿大航空客机与一辆消防车发生致命碰撞几周后。
在另一份声明中,美国航空对1197号航班机组人员表示赞扬,并表示涉事卡车与该航空公司无关。
“我们为机组人员的专业素养以及他们在非美国航空关联的地面车辆进入滑行道上的飞机航线时采取的行动感到自豪,”该航空公司说道。
与拉瓜迪亚机场撞车事故中的卡车不同,夏洛特机场事件中的卡车似乎配备了应答机,这是一种可以通过无线电信号与空中交通管制员进行通信的设备。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻查看了周三事件的空中交通管制录音,录音结束时,管制员告知1197号航班,他们已经看到了那辆作业车辆。
“我现在看到他了,”管制员说道。在通话期间,夏洛特机场管制屏幕的录像中可以看到这辆卡车。
这起事故发生在美国联邦航空管理局启动调查大约一周后,当时一架边疆航空的飞机在洛杉矶国际机场的滑行道上险些与两辆卡车相撞。

American Airlines pilot forced to “slam on the brakes” to avoid colliding with truck at Charlotte airport

An American Airlines pilot was forced to “slam on the brakes” to avoid colliding with a truck at Charlotte’s airport on Wednesday, according to Air Traffic Control audio.
“They just went right in front of us,” the pilot of American Airlines Flight 1197 can be heard telling a ramp controller in the audio, referring to the truck. “We nearly hit them. I had to slam on the brakes.”
The pilot went on to explain that his taxi light was switched on, and the plane was moving, when the vehicle sped past. He described it as a white-and-black pickup truck used for airport operations.
“Someone’s got to be notified right away,” the pilot said. “That’s really bad.”
It appears the American aircraft was leaving the concourse area of the North Carolina airport and headed toward the runway when the encounter took place. According to the tracking site FlightAware, the flight to Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., departed on time from Charlotte.
“Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) is aware of the reported incident involving an American Airlines aircraft and a CLT ground vehicle while taxiing near the gate on Wednesday morning,” a spokesperson for the airport said in a statement to CBS News, adding: “Safety and security are top priorities at CLT.”
The airport spokesperson said the incident was under investigation “in accordance with safety standards.”
A spokesperson for the Federal Aviation Administration told CBS News that the agency was “looking into” the incident, which occurred several weeks after a deadly crash between an Air Canada jet and a firefighting truck at LaGuardia Airport in New York City.
In a separate statement, American Airlines praised the crew of Flight 1197 and said the truck was not associated with the airline.
“We’re proud of the professionalism of our crew and the action they took when a ground vehicle not affiliated with American Airlines entered the aircraft’s path on a taxiway,” the airline said.
Unlike the truck involved in the LaGuardia crash, the one in Charlotte appeared to have a transponder, which is a device that allows vehicles to communicate with air traffic controllers using radio signals. The Air Traffic Control audio from Wednesday’s incident concluded with the controller informing Flight 1197 that they could see the operations vehicle.
“I got him now,” the controller said. The truck is visible in a recording of the control screen at the Charlotte airport during that call, which CBS News has reviewed.
The incident comes about a week after the FAA launched an investigation after a Frontier Airlines plane nearly collided with two trucks on a taxiway at Los Angeles International Airport.
