波音燃油開關安全無虞 FAA駁斥印度空難疑雲




美國聯邦航空局與波音確認波音飛機燃油切斷開關鎖定安全 無需緊急安全指令

根據路透社周日引述內部文件及多方消息報道,美國聯邦航空局(FAA)與波音公司已私下通知相關機構,波音飛機上的燃油切斷開關鎖定裝置是安全的。此舉是在上月印度航空一架波音787-8客機墜毀事故後,外界對該裝置安全性的高度關注之下作出的回應。

FAA於7月11日向各國民航當局發出「持續適航通知」,指出儘管多款波音機型的燃油控制開關鎖定設計類似,但FAA不認為此設計構成「不安全狀況」,因此不需要發布適航指令(即強制安全整改)。據知情人士透露,波音最近也向多家航空公司發出多機營運者通知,重申FAA的這一立場。

這一決定是在印度飛機事故初步調查結果公布後作出的。印度飛機事故調查局發現,事故飛機起飛不久後,兩個引擎的燃油開關均被切換至「切斷」位置,導致機上260人全部罹難。初步調查報告援引了FAA於2018年發出的建議,當中建議但未強制檢查燃油開關的鎖定機制。據悉,印度航空未有進行該非強制性的檢查。

此外,印度飛行員工會ALPA對「飛行員操作失誤」的推測予以否認,並要求在事故調查中獲得觀察員身份,以確保調查透明公正。

編者評論:

FAA與波音確認燃油切斷開關鎖定安全,表面上緩解了外界對該裝置設計缺陷的疑慮,但這起悲劇卻暴露出航空安全監管中的灰色地帶。FAA的2018年建議並非強制執行,讓航空公司自行決定是否檢查,這種「建議制」在關乎生命安全的領域似乎過於寬鬆。印度航空未執行檢查,究竟是管理疏忽還是監管機制不力,值得深思。

此外,事故中燃油開關被切至「切斷」的原因仍未明朗,飛行員工會強烈反對「人為錯誤」說法,強調調查需全面透明。這反映出航空事故調查不僅是技術問題,更涉及到人員信任和制度正義。

對香港及全球航空業而言,這事件提醒我們,安全設計與監管標準必須齊頭並進,單靠製造商或監管機構單方面宣稱安全,無法消除公眾疑慮。或許,未來航空安全監管應更加強調「強制性檢查」和透明公開,以避免類似悲劇重演。

總括而言,FAA與波音的回應固然重要,但真正的安全保障來自制度嚴謹和多方監督。航空公司、監管機構與飛行員三方應建立更緊密合作和溝通機制,才能提升航空安全的整體水平,保障乘客生命安全。

A young person with short blonde hair squatting confidently in front of a white sports car on a wet city street at night. Captured with a wide-angle fisheye lens for dramatic distortion. Neon signs, Japanese billboards, and glowing city lights reflect on the wet pavement. Moody, cyberpunk-inspired atmosphere with light rain and soft reflections. Casual streetwear—oversized dark sweatshirt, loose grey pants, worn sneakers. Background filled with vibrant nightlife, blurred car headlights, and bustling urban energy. High contrast, teal-orange tones, cinematic depth, film grain, atmospheric haze, shallow depth of field, 35mm film look, poster-style composition, ultra-realistic lighting. A photorealistic outdoor portrait of a fit Filipina woman performing a yoga pose on a grassy lawn in a serene park. She is positioned on all fours atop a soft white towel, with one leg extended upward behind her in a controlled, balanced stretch. She wears a simple black bikini-style sports top, emphasizing a natural athletic physique. Her expression is calm and confident, making gentle eye contact with the camera. Her hair is neatly tied back, with minimal makeup for a clean, natural look.
The scene takes place in a lush green park surrounded by tall trees, rendered with a creamy, cinematic bokeh background. The environment feels peaceful and fresh, with soft grass in the foreground and blurred foliage in the distance, creating strong subject separation.
Lighting is natural daylight, soft and diffused, resembling early morning or late afternoon golden-hour light. Highlights are gentle, skin tones are warm and realistic, and shadows are soft with no harsh contrast, enhancing a healthy, natural glow.
Composition is centered and symmetrical, shot from a low eye-level angle slightly below the subject to emphasize form and balance. The depth of field is shallow, with the subject in sharp focus and the background smoothly blurred. The towel anchors the subject visually, adding contrast against the green grass.
Style is ultra-realistic photography with cinematic aesthetics, resembling a high-end fitness or lifestyle photoshoot. Skin texture, fabric details, and natural imperfections are preserved for realism. No stylization or anime effects.
Quality is extremely high: 8K resolution, DSLR-quality image, sharp focus, realistic anatomy, accurate proportions, professional photography, natural color grading, no distortions, no artifacts, and no exaggerated features. Stylised portrait in emerald green and charcoal black palette. Grayscale realism for subject, upward gaze. Sunglasses with muted emerald reflective lenses. Jacket with ornate baroque/filigree black designs, emerald hood underneath. Textured emerald-green fabric draped below. Background: dense, overlapping hand-inked patterns in emerald, charcoal, and subtle silver — radiating lines, geometric shapes, spirals, parallel contour textures, crosshatching, organic waves, dots. Bold contrast, deep blacks, glowing emerald accents. Mixed-media pop realism. Negative prompt: no cartoon, no art style, no painting, no drawings.
