亚航坠机原因公布 超速3倍爬升导致熄火

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.

印尼交通部长周二表示，12月底坠毁的飞机在坠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.

雅加达邮报报道，伊格纳希尤斯·乔南在亚航8501航班坠机听证会上说，飞机曾以每分钟6000英尺的速度爬升，这一速度甚至超过了战斗机。随后飞机熄火。预计162名乘客和机组人员中无人生还。

“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.

伊格纳希尤斯·乔南说：“由于设计原因，商用飞机的平均速度一般在每分钟1000到2000英尺之间。

The update comes a week after the recovery of the plane’s “black boxes, a flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder.

该消息是在飞机黑匣子被发现后一周发布的。黑匣子中记录了飞机的数据和飞行员的录音。

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.

调查人员在检查黑匣子后排除了恐怖袭击的可能性。他们认为可能是人为失误、机械故障和恶劣天气导致了飞机急速爬升并坠毁。
