Passengers around the world have been told to expect disruption and delays as airlines work to install urgent software modifications to thousands of Airbus planes.

全球各地的旅客被告知要預期航班受干擾與延誤，因為各航空公司正努力為數千架空中巴士客機安裝緊急的軟體更新。

The company says it's discovered that intense solar radiation could corrupt data, which is crucial to flight controls on some of their aircraft.

空巴表示，他們發現強烈的太陽輻射可能會損壞一些機型上對飛行控制至關重要的數據。

The issue affects the A320, its best selling plane, but also similar models.

這項問題影響到 A320——它們最暢銷的機型——以及其他類似款式。

The Airbus A320, the short haul workhorse of choice for many airlines around the world.

空中巴士 A320，是全球許多航空公司首選的短程航線主力機型。

Airbus said radiation from the sun was found to interfere with sensors critical to the aircraft's flight controls.

空巴表示，來自太陽的輻射會干擾對飛機飛行控制至關重要的感測器。

More than 6,000 Airbus planes worldwide are believed to be affected by the problem.

全球超過 6,000 架空巴飛機被認為受到這項問題的影響。

For many, the fix should be a straightforward software update.

對多數機型來說，修復方式應該是簡單的軟體更新。

But some older aircraft may require more extensive hardware replacements.

但部分較老的機型可能需要更大規模的硬體更換。

This is a very rare event indeed, but this is why, you know, Airbus and the European regulator have said,

這確實是一個非常罕見的事件，但這就是為什麼空巴與歐洲監管機構表示：

look, we've identified this potential issue and on a precautionary basis, you know, the airlines need to take these steps with this maintenance.

「我們已經發現了這個潛在問題，基於預防性的考量，航空公司必須採取必要的維修措施。」

We're in November, typically a very low-demand season for flying,

現在是 11 月，通常是飛行需求最低的季節。

but even so, if you take some aircraft out for a even just a few hours, they are scheduled so intensively that that can lead to problems.

但即使如此，只要讓部分飛機停飛幾個小時——在如此緊密的班表下——也足以造成問題。

Enough delays that will turn into cancellations.

延誤累積後就會導致取消航班。

EasyJet says it has already completed the software update on many of its planes and plans to operate its flying program normally on Saturday.

易捷航空表示，已為許多機隊完成軟體更新，並計畫週六維持正常營運。

While British Airways also operates a significant number of Airbus planes, only three require the update.

英國航空同樣營運大量空巴機型，但只有三架需要更新。

The airline said its passengers should not face significant disruption.

該航空公司表示，旅客不應面臨重大干擾。

Heathrow Airport, the UK's busiest, says it's operating normally,

英國最繁忙的希斯洛機場表示營運正常。

while Manchester Airport says it's not expecting widespread disruption.

曼徹斯特機場則表示不預期出現大規模干擾。

Gatwick says delays are possible, but that only a small number of airlines are affected.

蓋特威克機場說，有可能會有延誤，但受影響的航空公司數量不多。

The Transport Secretary, Heidi Alexander, says the impact on UK airlines seems limited.

交通大臣 Heidi Alexander 表示，此事件對英國航空公司的影響似乎有限。

The problem was first identified in October when a JetBlue flight from Cancun in Mexico to Newark in the United States experienced a sudden drop in altitude.

問題最初在 10 月被發現，當時捷藍航空一架從墨西哥坎昆飛往美國紐華克的航班突然下降高度。

Significant enough for some of the passengers to be injured.

下降幅度足以造成部分乘客受傷。

The plane was forced to make an emergency landing.

While airlines worldwide expect any disruption to be short-lived,

雖然全球航空公司預計干擾是短暫的，

the fact that all affected aircraft need to be fixed at the same time will cause an inevitable logistical challenge.

但所有受影響機型都必須同時維修，勢必造成後勤挑戰。

Passengers around the world are urged to check with their airlines before traveling.

全球旅客被建議出發前先向航空公司確認。

Sidney Decker is a Griffith University professor and a former pilot.

Sidney Decker 是葛里菲斯大學教授兼前飛行員。

What is important to understand is that most airliners today,

重要的是要了解，現今大多數民航機，

basically from the late 1980s, early 1990s onward, are so-called fly-by-wires.

基本上從 1980 年代末、1990 年代初開始，就是所謂的「電傳飛控」。

So they send electrical Signals from the autopilot or the controls in the cockpit to the flight surfaces and control them there.

也就是說，從自動駕駛或駕駛艙的操控指令，透過電訊號傳送到飛行控制面。

So it's no longer hydraulic lines or push rods or things.

不再是液壓管路或推桿之類的機械裝置。

That means that you've got computers helping you do these things, computers that are not necessarily built by Airbus.

這也意味著，你有電腦在協助執行這些操作，而電腦不一定是空巴製造的。

這些電腦由泰雷茲（Thales）製造。

The computer here is the one that does the pitch and a little bit of the ailerons that bank the wings.

這台電腦負責俯仰控制，以及部分的副翼控制（讓機翼傾斜）。

But it turns out that indeed, solar radiation affects the way,

但結果發現，太陽輻射確實會影響

or in fact affects the data that travels across the electronic circuits to the flight control at the back of the plane,

——或說影響電子電路中傳輸到飛控系統的數據——

thus doing something unexpected and funky.

And that's what we saw, wasn't it, back in October when there was this aircraft that suddenly lost altitude, wasn't it?

而這就是我們在 10 月看到的情況：那架突然高度下降的飛機。

30th of October, it only lost about 100ft over some 5 to 7 seconds, but it still injured 15 passengers.

10 月 30 日，該班機在 5 至 7 秒內下降了約 100 英尺，但仍造成 15 名乘客受傷。

And of course, if you're a pilot on this thing, you look at the other pilot, you go, did you make it do this?

當你是這架飛機的飛行員，你會看著另一位說：「是你讓它這樣的嗎？」

And then of course you go, well, in that case, we'd better get this thing on the ground.

於是你就會說：「那我們最好立刻讓這架飛機降落。」

That's where the system works well, Lucy, because everybody else gets sent out of the way,

這時系統運作得很好，Lucy：其他航機會被清走，

you get priority handling, put the airplane on the ground, you talk to maintenance, maintenance eventually talks to the manufacturer,

你會獲得優先降落，讓飛機落地後和維修部門討論，維修再回報製造商，

and then the manufacturer starts looking into this.

You don't want to sort of alarmist, over, respond and overreact.

你不希望反應過度或太過危言聳聽。

And then we get to this situation now where manufacturer and regulators have agreed yet now you have to park this airplane,

於是我們來到現在這個階段：製造商與監管機構一致認為，飛機必須停飛，

do the software upgrade or downgrade, actually, because we're going back to the previous software before you fly it again.

進行軟體更新——或說「降版本」，因為要回到之前的版本——才能重新飛航。

And in some cases, that could just mean a matter of hours, couldn't it?

而對某些機型來說，這可能只需要幾個小時。

But in some planes, my understanding is that they'll actually need to physically remove what's currently in place and replace it.

但部分飛機需要實體拆除舊硬體並更換新設備。

So imagine having an iPad or some, some other device that refuses to do a software update because it's too old.

就像你的 iPad 或某個裝置因為太舊而拒絕安裝更新。

And that's why there is some differential in how airlines are affected by this, in which case some indeed require hardware replacement as well.

這也是為什麼不同航空公司受影響的程度不同，有些確實需要更換硬體，但數量不多。

還是有其他機型、其他公司可能也會受到影響？

Or are there other planes, you know, other groups of planes that we're going to be seeing affected by this as well?

到目前為止，我們還沒有看到宇宙輻射對其他飛機造成影響。

It is so far unlikely that we've seen any of the cosmic radiation.

而且我們正處於 11 年太陽週期的高峰期。

And of course, we're in a very busy period of an 11 year solar cycle.

但目前尚未看到對其他飛機造成影響。

We haven't seen the effect of that on other airplanes yet.

然而，其他製造商也有其電子系統問題正在處理。

But other manufacturers have had their share of electronic and still have their share of electronic issues that they need to figure out as well.

且目前仍有尚未完全解決的電子設備問題需要他們去面對。

以上是前飛行員 Sidney Decker 的說明。
