Data Comm, the NextGen technology that enhances safety and reduces delays by dramatically improving the way air traffic controllers and pilots talk to each other, is up and running at five airports in the New York metropolitan area: JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, Teterboro and Westchester. These airports were among the first to receive the critical system upgrade.
Ubuchwepheshe obusha bunezela ukuxhumana ngezwi lomsakazo, okwenza abalawuli nabashayeli bezindiza bakwazi ukudlulisa ulwazi olubalulekile olufana nezimvume, izinhlelo zendiza ezibuyekeziwe kanye nezeluleko ngokuthinta inkinobho.
"I-Data Comm isiza ukugcina izindiza zihamba ngesikhathi kuyo yonke indawo yaseNew York," kusho iPhini Lomsizi Womqondisi we-FAA we-NextGen Pamela Whitley. "Lokhu kuthuthukisa kakhulu ukusebenza kwendiza kuyo yonke indiza yesizwe, njengoba ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yazo zonke izindiza kuleli zwe indizela, isuka noma idlula endaweni yezindiza eNew York."
Members of the media today toured the air traffic control tower at JFK and a jetBlue aircraft for a working demonstration of Data Comm from the perspective of controllers and pilots. Officials from the FAA, jetBlue, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association and the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists were on hand.
Ukusebenza okuthuthukisiwe okuhlinzekwa yi-Data Comm konga isilinganiso semizuzu engu-13 indiza ngayinye eNew York ngezikhathi zokuminyana kwethrafikhi, ngokuvamile okubangelwa isimo sezulu esibi. Izindiza ezingaphezu kuka-7,500 zithola izinzuzo ze-Data Comm inyanga ngayinye ezikhumulweni zezindiza zendawo yaseNew York - inani eliqhubeka nokukhula. I-Data Comm ngonyaka odlule ithuthukise ulwazi lokundiza kubagibeli abayizigidi ezingu-10.6 ezindizeni ezingu-70,000 ezisuka eNew York.
The technology is being used by eight other U.S. operators in New York – American, Alaska, Delta, Fed Ex, Southwest, United, UPS and Virgin America – and 22 international airlines. Data Comm is installed in 31 different types of aircraft.
Ukuxhumana ngezwi kungadla isikhathi futhi kusebenze kanzima. Isibonelo, lapho izindiza zilindele ukusuka, abalawuli kufanele basebenzise umsakazo onezindlela ezimbili ukuze bakhiphe imizila emisha eya kubashayeli bezindiza ukuze babasize bagweme isimo sezulu esibi. Le nqubo ingathatha imizuzu engu-30 noma ngaphezulu, kuye ngokuthi zingaki izindiza ezisemgqeni wokusuka. Futhi yethula amandla okungaxhumani kahle okwaziwa ngelephutha elithi "readback/hearback".
Ngokuphambene, izisebenzi zendiza ezindizeni ezisebenzisa i-Data Comm bathola izinhlelo zendiza ezibuyekeziwe kubalawuli ngemilayezo yedijithali. Abasebenzi babuyekeza ukucaciswa okusha futhi bamukele imiyalelo ebuyekeziwe ngokucindezela inkinobho. Izindiza zigcina izindawo zazo kulayini wokusuka - noma zingase zikhishwe kulayini futhi zithunyelwe kusengaphambili - okuzivumela ukuthi zihambe ngesikhathi.
I-Data Comm manje isisebenza emibhoshongweni yokulawula ukuhamba kwezindiza engu-55 ezweni lonke, kulandela ukukhishwa okwakungaphansi kwesabelomali kanye neminyaka engaphezu kwemibili nengxenye ngaphambi kwesikhathi esimisiwe. Ukonga kwesabelomali kuzokwenza i-FAA ikwazi ukutshala i-Data Comm ezikhumulweni zezindiza eziyisikhombisa ngaphezu kwezingama-55 ezibalwe ngezansi.
