Once cleared, longer flights would become possible with a pair of pilots alternating rest breaks, instead of the three or four currently needed to maintain at least two in the cockpit.<blockquote>在获得国际认可的道路上仍然存在很高的障碍。一旦获得批准，更长的飞行将成为可能，两名飞行员交替休息，而不是目前需要三到四名飞行员在驾驶舱内保持至少两名飞行员。</blockquote> That promises savings for airlines, amid uncertainty over the post-pandemic economics of intercontinental flying.

China's support is key to any Cathay deployment.<blockquote>单飞行员操作目前仅限于最多可容纳9名乘客的飞机，需要联合国航空机构国际民航组织及其所经过领空的国家的支持。中国的支持是国泰任何部署的关键。</blockquote> EASA plans consultations this year and certification work in 2022, while acknowledging \"significant risk\" to the 2025 launch date, a spokesman said.<blockquote>一位发言人表示，EASA计划今年进行磋商，2022年进行认证工作，同时承认2025年发射日期存在“重大风险”。</blockquote> In a closed-door industry briefing this year, the agency suggested reduced-crew flights would begin with a single operator, according to notes of the meeting reviewed by Reuters.<blockquote>根据路透社查阅的会议记录，在今年的一次闭门行业简报中，该机构建议减少机组人员的航班将从单一运营商开始。</blockquote> EMERGENCY DESCENT<blockquote>紧急下降</blockquote> Airbus has designed an A350 autopilot upgrade and flight warning system changes to help a lone pilot manage failures, sources close to the project said.<blockquote>接近该项目的消息人士称，空中客车公司设计了A350自动驾驶仪升级和飞行警告系统变更，以帮助孤独的飞行员管理故障。</blockquote> The mid-sized plane is suitable because of its \"emergency descent\" feature that quickly reduces altitude without pilot input in the event of cabin depressurisation.<blockquote>中型飞机是合适的，因为它的“紧急下降”功能，在机舱减压的情况下，无需飞行员输入即可快速降低高度。</blockquote> Proponents suggest single-pilot operations may be accepted by a flying public used to crew leaving the cockpit for bathroom breaks. They also point to higher error rates from human pilots than automated systems.<blockquote>支持者建议，习惯机组人员离开驾驶舱去洗手间休息的飞行公众可能会接受单飞行员操作。他们还指出，人类飞行员的错误率高于自动化系统。</blockquote> Both arguments miss the point, according to a source close to Lufthansa - who said the airline's executives were advised last year that the programme could not meet safety goals.<blockquote>据一位接近汉莎航空的消息人士称，这两种说法都没有抓住要点，他表示，该航空公司的高管去年被告知该计划无法达到安全目标。</blockquote> Flying solo for hours is a \"completely different story\", the source said, citing the 2009 AF447 disaster as an example of malfunctions occurring in cruise. The Air France A330's copilots lost control after its speed sensors failed over the Atlantic, while the captain was resting.<blockquote>消息人士称，单飞数小时是“完全不同的故事”，并引用2009年AF447灾难作为巡航中发生故障的例子。法航A330的副驾驶在大西洋上空速度传感器出现故障后失去控制，当时机长正在休息。</blockquote> \"Airbus would have had to make sure every situation can be handled autonomously without any pilot input for 15 minutes,\" the source said. \"And that couldn't be guaranteed.\"<blockquote>消息人士称：“空客必须确保每种情况都可以在15分钟内在没有任何飞行员输入的情况下自主处理。”“这是无法保证的。”</blockquote> Lufthansa has not withdrawn from Project Connect and remains involved as an adviser, its spokesman said.<blockquote>汉莎航空发言人表示，汉莎航空尚未退出Project Connect，仍作为顾问参与其中。</blockquote> While the airline has no plans to deploy single-pilot operations, he added, \"the suggestion that Lufthansa was an essential part of the project and then pulled back is not true.\"<blockquote>他补充说，虽然该航空公司没有部署单飞行员运营的计划，但“汉莎航空是该项目的重要组成部分然后又撤回的说法并不属实。”</blockquote> Single-pilot capability would add an A350 sales argument, experts say, and rival Boeing lacks an equivalent model with sufficient automation.<blockquote>专家表示，单飞行员能力将增加A350的销售理由，而竞争对手波音公司缺乏具有足够自动化的同等型号。</blockquote> Filippo Tomasello, a former EASA official, said the payroll and accommodation savings for long-haul crew would not be lost on airlines.<blockquote>前EASA官员Filippo Tomasello表示，航空公司不会损失长途机组人员的工资和住宿节省。</blockquote> \"COVID may end up accelerating this evolution because it's putting tremendous economic pressure on aviation,\" Tomasello predicted.<blockquote>托马塞洛预测：“新冠疫情最终可能会加速这种演变，因为它给航空业带来了巨大的经济压力。”</blockquote> \"If EASA certifies this solution, airlines will use it.\"<blockquote>“如果EASA认证了这个解决方案，航空公司就会使用它。”</blockquote>","source":"lsy1612507957220","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Both remain in the cockpit for take-off and landing.\n\"Typically on long-haul flights when you're at cruise altitude there's very little happening in the cockpit,\" EASA chief Patrick Ky told a German press briefing in January.\n\"It makes sense to say OK, instead of having two in the cockpit, we can have one in the cockpit, the other one taking a rest, provided we're implementing technical solutions which make sure that if the single one falls asleep or has any problem, there won't be any unsafe conditions.\"\nPilot groups have voiced alarm.\n\"We struggle to understand the rationale,\" said Otjan de Bruijn, head of the European Cockpit Association representing EU pilots.\nInvoking the 737 MAX crisis, which exposed Boeing's inappropriate links to U.S. regulators, De Bruijn said the programme's cost-cutting approach \"could lead to higher risks\".\nSingle-pilot operations, currently limited to planes with up to nine passengers, would need backing from U.N. aviation body ICAO and countries whose airspace they cross. China's support is key to any Cathay deployment.\nEASA plans consultations this year and certification work in 2022, while acknowledging \"significant risk\" to the 2025 launch date, a spokesman said.\nIn a closed-door industry briefing this year, the agency suggested reduced-crew flights would begin with a single operator, according to notes of the meeting reviewed by Reuters.\nEMERGENCY DESCENT\nAirbus has designed an A350 autopilot upgrade and flight warning system changes to help a lone pilot manage failures, sources close to the project said.\nThe mid-sized plane is suitable because of its \"emergency descent\" feature that quickly reduces altitude without pilot input in the event of cabin depressurisation.\nProponents suggest single-pilot operations may be accepted by a flying public used to crew leaving the cockpit for bathroom breaks. They also point to higher error rates from human pilots than automated systems.\nBoth arguments miss the point, according to a source close to Lufthansa - who said the airline's executives were advised last year that the programme could not meet safety goals.\nFlying solo for hours is a \"completely different story\", the source said, citing the 2009 AF447 disaster as an example of malfunctions occurring in cruise. The Air France A330's copilots lost control after its speed sensors failed over the Atlantic, while the captain was resting.\n\"Airbus would have had to make sure every situation can be handled autonomously without any pilot input for 15 minutes,\" the source said. \"And that couldn't be guaranteed.\"\nLufthansa has not withdrawn from Project Connect and remains involved as an adviser, its spokesman said.\nWhile the airline has no plans to deploy single-pilot operations, he added, \"the suggestion that Lufthansa was an essential part of the project and then pulled back is not true.\"\nSingle-pilot capability would add an A350 sales argument, experts say, and rival Boeing lacks an equivalent model with sufficient automation.\nFilippo Tomasello, a former EASA official, said the payroll and accommodation savings for long-haul crew would not be lost on airlines.\n\"COVID may end up accelerating this evolution because it's putting tremendous economic pressure on aviation,\" Tomasello predicted.\n\"If EASA certifies this solution, airlines will use it.\"","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"0KVV.UK":0.9,"EADSF":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1149,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":5,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"hasMoreComment":false,"orderType":2}
