亞航墜機原因公佈 超速3倍爬升導致熄火

An airplane that crashed in Indonesia late December was climbing at “beyond normal” speed before it pitched into the Java Sea, the country’s transportation minister said Tuesday.
印尼交通部長週二表示，12月底墜毀的飛機在墜入爪哇海前曾超速爬升。

Ignasius Jonan told a hearing into the AirAsia Flight 8501 crash that the plane stalled after climbing at 6,000 feet per minute—faster than a fighter jet, the Jakarta Post reports. 162 passengers and crew are believed dead.
雅加達郵報報道，伊格納希尤斯·喬南在亞航8501航班墜機聽證會上說，飛機曾以每分鐘6000英尺的速度爬升，這一速度甚至超過了戰鬥機。隨後飛機熄火。預計162名乘客和機組人員中無人生還。

“The average speed of a commercial aircraft is probably between 1,000 and 2,000 feet per minute, because the aircraft is not designed to soar so fast,” he said.
伊格納希尤斯·喬南說：“由於設計原因，商用飛機的平均速度一般在每分鐘1000到2000英尺之間。”

The update comes a week after the recovery of the plane’s “black boxes,” a flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder.
該消息是在飛機黑匣子被發現後一週發佈的。黑匣子中記錄了飛機的數據和飛行員的錄音。

Investigators have ruled out terrorism after reviewing the black boxes and are considering human error, technical malfunction and inclement weather as possible causes for the steep climb and the crash.
調查人員在檢查黑匣子後排除了恐怖襲擊的可能性。他們認爲可能是人爲失誤、機械故障和惡劣天氣導致了飛機急速爬升並墜毀。
