Pakistan airspace shut, Mumbai sees near-miss

巴基斯坦领空关闭，两架国际航班险在孟买上空相撞

NEW DELHI: Two international flights got dangerously close to each other in Mumbai’s mega crowded skies on Friday afternoon. They were seconds apart from each other when the collision avoidance system kicked in and pulled them apart. An air traffic controller has been grounded.

新德里消息:周五下午，在孟买拥挤的空域中，两架国际航班的距离非常靠近，异常危险。防撞系统启动时，它们之间只相差几秒钟的飞行距离。一名空中交通管制员已被停职。

Both the flights were passing through this route due to the closure of Pakistan airspace since February 27. The Mumbai airspace has seen a sharp rise in overflying aircraft since then and the ATC has been putting in a superhuman effort + to manage this spurt in traffic.

由于2月27日以来巴基斯坦领空关闭，所以这两架飞机才经过同一条航线。自那以来，孟买领空的飞机数量急剧上升，空中交通管制部门一直在投入超人的努力，以应对这一交通高峰。

The scare happened at 1.40 pm Friday when an Air France Boeing 777 was cruising at 32,000 feet en route from Ho Chi Minh City to Paris as AF 253. And an Etihad Airbus 320 was winging its way from Abu Dhabi to Kathmandu as EY 290 at 31,000 feet.

星期五下午1点40分，法国航空公司一架波音777客机（AF 253航班）在从胡志明市飞往巴黎的途中，以3.2万英尺的高度巡航。阿提哈德航空一架空客320（EY 290航班）从阿布扎比飞往加德满都，飞行高度为3.1万英尺。

“At 1.40 pm, Mumbai air traffic control (ATC) asked the Etihad flight to climb to 33,000 feet. During climb, this aircraft came almost face-to-face with AF 253 that was coming from the opposite direction. The two aircraft were just three nautical miles away, seconds apart, from each other,” said sources.

下午1点40分，孟买空中交通管制(ATC)要求阿提哈德航班爬升到3.3万英尺。在爬升过程中，这架飞机几乎与来自相反方向的AF 253迎面相撞。两架飞机相距仅3海里，只有几秒钟的飞行距离。”

The “traffic collision avoidance systems” (TCAS) equipment on these two aircraft got activated, after which pilots pulled the two planes apart.

两架飞机上的“空中防撞系统”(TCAS)被激活，飞行员将两架飞机拉开。

Confirming this serious near miss, a senior ATC official said: “This happened and the matter is under investigation. The air traffic controller has been off rostered (taken off duty). Traffic density was very high (in Mumbai flight information region) due to Pakistan airspace closure.”

一名高级空中交通管制官员证实了这一严重的失误，他表示:“确实发生了，目前正在调查中。空中交通管制员已停职。由于巴基斯坦领空关闭，孟买飞行情报区的交通密度非常高。”

A senior official of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation also confirmed the near miss and said a probe has been ordered.

印度民航总局一名高级官员也证实了这一险情，并表示已下令进行调查。

Pakistan has repeatedly deferred reopening its airspace. The latest date for that to happen is Monday, but no one knows when that will indeed happen.

巴基斯坦一再推迟开放领空。最迟的开放日期是星期一，但是没有人知道是否会开放。

The over fortnight-long closure is now begng to strain resources of both airlines and Mumbai ATC that is handling the entire diverted traffic.

长达两个多星期的领空关闭已经开始给航空公司和孟买空中交通管制中心带来压力。

Flights between west and south/southeast Asia are taking a longer route. For airlines that has meant adding a stop on ultralong and long nonstops, like Delhi-New York, which translates into higher crew and fuel requirement.

西亚和南亚/东南亚之间的航线正在延长。对于航空公司来说，这意味着在超长直飞航线上增加一个停靠点，比如德里-纽约航线，这意味着机组人员和燃油需求更高。

The implications are no longer just on finances and network. The effect, as is clear from Fridays near miss near Mumbai, is on safety too due to overworked and stressed out controllers who have been putting a superhuman effort since February 27. But stress may be showing now.

其影响不再仅仅局限于财力和网络。从周五孟买的险情就可以看出，这对安全也有影响，因为自2月27日以来，劳累过度、压力过大的空管人员一直在付出超人的努力，现在压力可能正在显现。

The mid-air collision was averted by the collision avoidance system which issues two types of advisories to pilots: first a traffic advisory (TA) to give an advance warning to crew of two planes that they are headed in the same direction and in second stage resolution advisory (RA) that asks crew to take evasive action to avoid mid-air collisions.

防碰撞系统向飞行员发出警告，以避免发生空中碰撞: 首先是交通咨询(TA)，向两架飞机的机组人员提前发出警告，告诉他们正朝着同一个方向飞行;其次是决断咨询(RA)，要求机组人员采取规避行动，避免在空中相撞。
