越南航空的一架波音787飞机在慕尼黑机场起飞过程中两次启动了刹车系统,导致起飞时间严重延迟,并且飞机的尾部撞到了地面;机上287名乘客和机组人员均未受伤。

A Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787 activated brakes twice during take-off at Munich Airport, causing a late lift-off and tail strike, with no injuries among 287 onboard.

据德国联邦航空事故调查局称,飞机在跑道中途失去了加速能力,但在副驾驶增加发动机功率后成功起飞;不过该飞机受到了严重损坏。

The plane lost acceleration halfway down the runway but took off after the co-pilot increased engine power; the aircraft was substantially damaged.

调查仍在进行中。调查人员已经扣押了关键的刹车系统部件,同时驾驶舱内的音频记录也被篡改了,因此刹车系统启动的具体原因仍不清楚。

Investigation is ongoing; key brake components were seized, cockpit audio was overwritten, and the cause of braking is still unclear according to the German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation.

根据一份报告,这架由越南航空运营的波音787飞机在8月份于慕尼黑机场起飞时两次启动了刹车系统,导致起飞时间严重延迟,飞机的尾部撞到了地面。

AI generated A Boeing 787 aircraft operated by Vietnam Airlines had its brakes activated twice while barrelling down the runway at Munich Airport in August, leading to a perilously late take-off and the plane’s tail striking the ground, a report found.

德国联邦航空事故调查局在9月28日发布的初步报告中指出,飞机左侧的两个左刹车踏板的运动被记录了下来;当时驾驶飞机的是一位拥有超过27,000小时飞行经验的老练机长。

Movement of the two left brake pedals was recorded on the same side of the aircraft, where a highly-experienced captain with more than 27,000 flying hours was seated, the German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation said in an interim report released Sept 28.

报告还提到,根据飞机飞行记录器的数据,刹车系统在飞机起飞前再次被激活。

The report, citing data from the aircraft’s flight recorders, also said that the brakes were applied a second time while the plane was rushing down the runway prior to take-off.

报告并未明确说明这次刹车操作是由驾驶舱机组人员故意执行的,还是由技术故障引起的。

The report does not specify if the braking action was caused by the cockpit crew or stemmed from a technical issue.

调查人员扣押了多个系统部件,包括刹车系统控制单元和电动刹车执行器控制器。报告还指出,起飞过程中的驾驶舱音频记录已被篡改。

Investigators seized several system components, including the brake system control units and the electric brake actuator controllers. The audio recording in the cockpit during the time of the take-off was overwritten, according to the report.

这架飞往河内的波音787-9飞机载有287名乘客和机组人员,在跑道中途失去了加速能力,但机组人员判断跑道剩余长度不足以中止起飞。由于飞机速度过低,副驾驶增加了发动机的功率,使飞机最终成功起飞。

The Hanoi-bound 787-9 plane, which was carrying 287 passengers and crew, experienced a loss of acceleration halfway down the runway, but the flight crew determined there wasn’t enough tarmac left to abort take-off. With the plane’s speed insufficient, the co-pilot increased power to the aircraft’s engines to get off the ground beyond the tarmac threshold, according to the report.

机上没有人受伤。对该事件的调查仍在进行中,目前尚未得出最终结论。

No one on board was injured. The investigation into the incident is ongoing and no final conclusions have been reached.

起飞时,驾驶舱内有四名飞行员:执行飞行任务的机长坐在左侧座位上,副驾驶则负责监控飞行情况;根据报告,由航空公司指定的“指挥飞行员”坐在左侧的备用座位上,另一名飞行员则坐在右侧的备用座位上。

There were four pilots in the cockpit at the time of take-off. The pilot flying – a captain – occupied the left-hand seat, while the co-pilot was designated so-called pilot monitoring. The pilot in command, nominated by the operator, was seated in the left jump seat, and another pilot was seated in the right jump seat, according to the report.

起飞后,这位拥有近23,000小时飞行经验的指挥飞行员替换了原本执行飞行任务的机长,并完成了紧急着陆操作。

The pilot in command, another captain with almost 23,000 hours of flying experience, replaced the pilot flying in the left-hand seat after take-off, and performed the subsequent emergency landing.

报告指出,这架飞机在事故中受到了严重损坏。飞机因冲出跑道而降落在草地上,其尾部以及两个主起落架的轮子与跑道上的照明设施发生了碰撞;此外,飞机返回起飞机场后,发现左侧主起落架的四个轮胎也受到了损坏。报告还提到,在返回慕尼黑之前,飞机为减轻重量排放了62公吨燃油。

The aircraft was “substantially damaged” during the mishap, according to the report. The plane lifted off from the grass after overshooting the runway and “the tail section and the wheels of both main landing gears collided with parts of the approach lighting,” according to investigators. Four of the left main landing gear tyres were also observed to be damaged after the aircraft returned to the departure airport, they added. Before landing back in Munich, the aircraft dumped 62 metric tons of fuel to reduce its weight, the report said.

飞机起飞时的总重量为240,857公斤,接近其最大起飞重量(247,207公斤);其中燃油的重量占到了68,783公斤。在飞行过程中排放燃油时,机组人员向空中交通管制部门报告了疑似轮胎爆裂的情况。

The aircraft weighed a total of 240,857kg on take-off – close to the maximum take-off mass of 247,207kg. Fuel accounted for 68,783kg. While in the air dumping fuel, the flight crew reported a suspected flat tyre to air traffic control, according to the report.
