华盛顿5月13日路透电 —— 美国国家运输安全委员会(NTSB)周三发布建议,要求改进飞行员应对座舱烟雾紧急情况的培训,此前2023年曾发生过类似事件。

该委员会援引了2023年12月西南航空(LUV.N)一架波音(BA.N)737 MAX航班的事故:当时一只飞鸟撞入发动机,座舱内迅速充满烟雾。NTSB表示,“如果此类事件发生在夜间或仪表飞行气象条件下,后果可能是灾难性的。”

西南航空未立即置评。

NTSB称,在这起西南航空航班事故中,从新奥尔良起飞的机组人员在数秒内舱内能见度急剧下降后,难以看清仪表和检查单。飞行员戴上了氧气面罩,完成了应急程序,宣布进入紧急状态并安全返回机场。机上139名乘客无人受伤。

NTSB表示,尽管美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)几乎每天都会收到座舱烟雾引发的空中紧急情况报告,但客运航空公司并未被要求开展贴合实际的座舱烟雾应急模拟培训。

NTSB称:“现有培训往往仅围绕烟雾事件进行口头讨论,而非开展能见度降低或工作负荷增加场景下的沉浸式模拟训练。”

该委员会建议FAA与行业合作,“为飞行员制定标准化、贴合实际的座舱烟雾应急模拟培训,并将该培训纳入其监督航司培训项目的指导文件中。”

2024年,FAA在召集审查委员会评估包括2023年事故在内的波音737 MAX发动机相关担忧后,选择不要求立即采取任何行动。

另一起类似事故发生在2023年3月西南航空的一架航班上,该航班从哈瓦那起飞,飞鸟撞击发动机后客舱充满烟雾。

波音于2024年2月发布公告,向机组人员通报严重发动机损坏可能引发的驾驶舱和客舱影响。

US airlines should improve pilot training for smoke in cockpit, NTSB says

WASHINGTON, May 13 (Reuters) – The National Transportation Safety Board on Wednesday recommended improving training for pilot preparedness for ​smoke-in-cockpit emergencies after a 2023 incident.

The board cited a December 2023 Southwest ‌Airlines (LUV.N) flight of a Boeing (BA.N) 737 MAX after a bird flew into an engine and smoke rapidly filled the cockpit. “If such an event occurred at night or in instrument meteorological ​conditions, the consequences could be catastrophic,” the NTSB said.

Southwest did not ​immediately comment.

In the incident on the Southwest flight, the NTSB ⁠said the flight crew on departure from New Orleans had difficulty ​seeing instruments and checklist items as visibility deteriorated within seconds. Pilots donned ​oxygen masks, completed emergency procedures, declared an emergency and safely returned to the airport. None of the 139 people onboard were injured.

The NTSB said that although the Federal ​Aviation Administration receives nearly daily notifications of in-flight emergencies due to smoke ​in the cockpit, passenger airlines are not required to conduct realistic smoke-in-cockpit simulation training.

“Existing ‌training ⁠often consists only of verbal discussion of a smoke event rather than immersive simulation involving reduced visibility or elevated workload,” the NTSB said.

The board recommended that the FAA work with industry to “develop standardized, realistic smoke-in-cockpit simulation ​training for pilots ​and incorporate that ⁠training into its guidance for overseeing airline training programs.”

In 2024, the FAA opted not to require any immediate ​action after convening a review board to consider concerns ​about Boeing ⁠737 MAX engines including the 2023 incident.

Another incident occurred in a Southwest March 2023 flight that had departed Havana and in which a bird strike ⁠led ​to smoke filling the passenger cabin.

Boeing in ​February 2024 published a bulletin to inform flight crews of potential flight deck and cabin effects ​associated with severe engine damage.
