四川成都雙流機場遭無人機擾航

Four drones flown illegally over Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport in Sichuan last Friday forced a total of 58 flights to land at alternative airports, four flights to return, and More than 10 to be canceled. More than 10,000 passengers were stranded at the airport.

上週五，四川成都雙流國際機場遭遇四架“黑飛”無人機，導致共58個航班備降，4個航班返航，10多個航班取消，逾1萬名旅客滯留機場。

The airport resumed normal operations early last Saturday morning.

上週六上午，雙流機場恢復正常運行。

The flying of drones close to the airport could pose a great threat to aviation safety as the drones could easily be sucked into the engine or crash into an airplane's cockpit window.

無人機容易被捲入飛機引擎或撞上飛機駕駛艙窗戶，因此在機場附近操控無人機會對航空安全構成極大威脅。

Chengdu is a hot spot for illegal drone flights as there are many manufacturers as well as amateurs and professionals who fly drones in the city, an insider said.

據業內人士介紹，由於成都有不少無人機制造商以及業餘和專業無人機駕駛員，該市頻現無人機“黑飛”。

Feng Zhenglin, head of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, said in March that the administration would introduce a real-name system to regulate the drone industry.

中國民用航空局局長馮正霖3月曾表示，民航局將推行實名制以規範無人機產業。

Some experts have suggested regulating drones by attaching GPS systems to their flying control systems, as well as installing defense system at airports to keep flying machines away.

一些專家建議，爲了管理無人機，應在無人機飛行控制系統上安裝全球定位系統，並在機場部署防護系統以防無人機靠近。
