一架UPS客机在肯塔基州路易斯维尔国际机场遭遇险情,此前一架莱姆科(Labcorp)客机接近跑道,UPS客机被迫复飞。路易斯维尔国际机场去年曾发生致命货机坠毁事故。
涉事莱姆科客机当时位于滑行道上,被要求在17号跑道入口外等待,以便UPS客机降落。莱姆科飞行员应允,但随后飞机稍稍越过了等待区标线,触发了空中交通管制塔台的警报系统。
塔台下令莱姆科客机停住,飞行员照做。当时距离地面约125英尺的UPS客机收到复飞指令。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获取的音频中,可以听到一名空中交通管制员询问莱姆科飞行员:“你在做什么?”
随后可以听到莱姆科飞行员回应:“对此感到抱歉。”
航班追踪网站FlightRadar24的数据显示,莱姆科客机实际上并未进入跑道。
在另一段录音中,可以听到UPS客机飞行员告知空管,他们无法与莱姆科飞行员取得联系,甚至在收到指令前就已计划复飞。
“大家都能平安下班回家,”一名空中交通管制员说道。
UPS在一份声明中表示,其飞行员的操作“符合标准程序”,此次事件“未对运营造成任何影响”。
美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)表示,UPS和莱姆科客机保持了“要求的安全间距”。据FAA透露,此次事件发生于当地时间周二凌晨12点10分左右。
此次事件发生在路易斯维尔国际机场去年UPS货机起飞坠毁事故五个月后,那场事故造成包括机上三名飞行员在内的14人死亡。
UPS plane ordered by controller to abort landing after jet approached runway: “What are you doing?”

A UPS plane had to abort its landing after a Labcorp aircraft approached a runway at Kentucky’s Louisville International Airport, the site of a deadly cargo plane crash last year.
A Labcorp plane was on the taxiway and told to hold short of runway 17 to allow a UPS plane to land. The Labcorp pilot agreed, but the plane then moved a bit past the hold short bars, setting off alarm systems in the air traffic control tower.
The tower ordered the Labcorp plane to stop, which it did. The UPS plane, which was about 125 feet from the ground, was told to perform a go-around.
“What are you doing?” an air traffic controller can be heard asking the Labcorp pilot in audio obtained by CBS News.
“Sorry for that,” the Labcorp pilot can be heard replying.
Data from the aircraft tracking site FlightRadar24 shows that the Labcorp plane never actually entered the runway.
In another audio recording, the pilot of the UPS plane can be heard telling air traffic controllers that they had been unable to communicate with the Labcorp pilot and had been planning to perform a go-around even before the order.
“And everybody gets to go home at night,” an air traffic controller said.
In a statement, UPS said that its pilot was acting “in accordance with standard procedures” and that there was “no operational impact” from the incident.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the UPS and Labcorp planes maintained “required separation.” The incident occurred around 12:10 a.m. local time on Tuesday, according to the FAA.
The incident unfolded about five months after a UPS cargo plane crashed during takeoff in Louisville, killing 14 people, including the three pilots on board.
