近日,巴西聖保羅州(São Paulo)發生了一起嚴重的空難。一架客機於9日飛往聖保羅途中意外墜毀,目擊者在墜毀前最後一刻拍下畫面因而流傳於網路社群媒體中。根據當局說法,機上62人(58名乘客與4名機組人員)全部遇難,這是自2007年以來巴西最嚴重的空難。飛機最終墜落在一個住宅區,但幸運的是無任何居民傷亡。據報導,飛機於當地時間11:56從卡斯卡維爾(Cascavel)起飛,事故的具體原因尚待黑盒子(black box)的分析結果才能確定。空難事件往往引起全球關注。每次發生空難,不僅牽動著遇難者家屬的心,還會引發社會對航空安全的討論。帶你認識幾個「空難」議題在新聞中出現的高頻單字,幫助你加速理解相關報導。

航空空難專業詞彙
black box (flight recorder) - 黑盒子(飛行記錄儀)
飛機上的一種記錄裝置,用於在事故發生後提供關鍵數據。儘管名字叫做「黑盒子」,實際上它通常是鮮橘色的,以便於在事故現場找到。黑盒子包含兩個主要部分:飛行數據記錄器(FDR)和駕駛艙語音記錄器(CVR)
Q: 既然不是黑色的為何要叫黑盒子?最早的飛行記錄器在技術和設計上非常複雜,內部的機械和電子元件對外界是不可見的,這使得其運作方式對普通人而言相當神秘。因此,它被形象地稱為「黑盒子」。e.g. The black box was recovered from the wreckage.
(黑匣子從殘骸中被找回。)
CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder) 駕駛艙語音記錄器
CVR用於錄音飛行員在駕駛艙內的對話和其他聲音,例如通話、警報聲和背景噪音。這些錄音對於了解事故發生前的飛行員行為和溝通非常重要。 e.g. The CVR provided valuable clues about the flight's final moments.
(駕駛艙語音記錄器提供了關於飛行最後時刻的重要線索。)
FDR (Flight Data Recorder) 飛行數據記錄器
用於記錄飛行過程中的技術數據,如高度、速度、加速度、引擎性能等。這些數據對於分析飛行的具體情況和事故原因非常有用。 e.g. The FDR data revealed a malfunction in the aircraft's systems.
(飛行數據記錄器的數據顯示了飛機系統的故障。)
