讓我們先來看看 你所搭乘的航班

let's first look at how your flight saves

如何從洛杉磯到華盛頓

from Los Angeles to Washington

目前一路上的實際運作

that is managed today.

[引擎運轉聲]...

[Engines sound]...

當機艙門關上 開始後推

As your plane pulls away from the gate

準備就緒的同時

and gets in line,

機上駕駛持續與 洛杉磯塔台人員對話

your pilot is talking to the controller

接收重要的航管指示

in the LAX Tower

[引擎加速]...

for the critical routing information.

起飛之後

After takeoff,

你的班機 緊跟著前面的飛機

Across the country,

好比車輛行駛在 州際公路上

your plane follows other planes

行車路線都是固定的

like cars on the interstate highway

和地面上情況一樣

as with cars the route is dictated

飛機通過的是一連串的 雷達定位點

by what's on the ground.

通常都不是筆直的路線

Your plane must pass the radar fixes

而且當航機穿越不同的 管制空域

generally not the most direct paths.

飛行員就必須更換不同的 通信頻率

And every time the plane crosses

一路下來 高達25次之多

an airspace boundary,

在飛航途中 還得不斷調整

your pilot changes radio frequencies

適時地加速、減速、

more than twenty five times across country;

或是 更改航向

and makes adjustments in the flight,

[雷雨交加]...

speeding up, slowing down,

中西部著名的 惡劣天候

and changing directions.

也常迫使飛機改道 繞路遠行

也讓更多航班地停 無法升空

Bad weather overset in the Midwest

導致全國連鎖性的 班機誤點

當航機開始朝華盛頓 緩步下降

inefficient flight paths,

駕駛會分段降低高度 改平、再加速

and keep other planes on the ground

但又得維持 安全隔離 避讓相關航情

creating delays that ripple throughout the country.

直到降落在 杜勒斯機場跑道上

When your plane begins

現在 就讓我們看看 NexGen 將如何

讓飛行員與塔台人員 雙雙受惠

Now, let's look at how NexGen

[音樂] 每次 大家都減少了

在無線電上的對話

[Tape rewinding sound]...

進而大幅降低 言語溝通的錯誤

透過 數位化資訊通信
