美国客机坠毁因错误启动自动驾驶功能
据美联社(AP)报道,美国联邦航空局的一名官员发表声明称,导致本月12日晚,一架美国大陆航空公司的客机在布法罗市附近的水牛城坠毁,并造成50人死亡的事故原因是因为在冰冻环境下飞行员错误地启动了自动驾驶功能导致飞机降落过程中失控。
美国国家运输安全委员会(National Transportation Safety Board)官员史蒂夫・切兰德(Steve Chealander)称,科尔根航空公司(Colgan Air)建议飞行员在冰冻环境下手动驾驶飞机。飞行员都会被要求按照这一建议在冰冻天气状况下手动操控飞机。
遇事飞机的飞行员曾在飞机坠毁之前报告称,飞机的前挡风玻璃和两侧的机翼上都结上了冰。切兰德还说道,根据现场的初步调查可以得知飞机在坠毁后其自动驾驶功能处于启动状态。

既然在冰雪状态下不适宜自动驾驶,为什么允许能够进入自动驾驶,修改一下控制系统有这么难吗?还会出现“错误地”吗??

错误地? ☹️

失速
飞机乱折腾,上翘下伏,左歪右倒
😕 The plane was manufactured in April 2008 and went into service that month, the statement said.
Chealander said the stall speed for the aircraft is still being determined. It depends on a number of factors including the gross weight of the plane at the time of the crash.
He said a device that helps the plane avoid stalls in icy conditions was engaged.
Chealander said in the final seconds of flight, the airplane went through a series of up-and-down jerking motions and side-to-side rolls.
Right after that, the so-called stick pusher activating the nose of the aircraft rose to about 31 degrees, according to information recovered from the flight data recorder. The stick pusher will drop the nose of the aircraft in order to gain speed and avoid a stall.
Chealander said he wouldn’t comment on whether the sudden rise of the nose was caused by a pilot reaction to the stick pusher sending the plane into a dive. Following the nose of the airplane going up, the plane then went down to a 45 degree angle.
The plane then rolled about 46 degrees to the left followed by 105 degrees to the right, putting the aircraft onto its side.
He said passengers and crew experienced about 2 Gs of force. One G, or gravitational pull, is what a person standing still would experience.
The last radar hit showed the aircraft was at an altitude of about 900 feet traveling at about 100 knots (115 miles per hour). Radar also indicated the plane fell from 1,800 to 1,000 feet in five seconds, Chealander said.
