Kukho iimpazamo: Kutheni iBoeing 737 Max kufuneka ibekwe ngokusisigxina

I-Boeing ibhengeze ukuba igqibile ukulungisa isoftware yayo kwi-737 Max, imfuneko yokwenza ukuba inqwelomoya iqinisekiswe ukuba iphinde ibhabhe emva kweengozi ezimbini ezibulalayo. Iindaba ukugubungela isibhengezo kugxilwe kwinto yokuba i-Federal Aviation Administration (i-FAA) iyakufuna ukuqhuba eyayo iimvavanyo kunye nesatifikethi sokuqinisekisa ukuba iBoeing iyilungisile ingxaki. Ukongeza, iCongress ibambe iindibano zokuba kutheni i-737 Max iqinisekisiwe ukubhabha kwindawo yokuqala. Kukhuselekile ukuchaza ukuba kusenokwenzeka ukuba ziinyanga, ukuba azikho ngaphezulu, ngaphambi kokuba i-737 Max iphinde ihambise abakhweli.

Endaweni yokugxila kwisoftware, amajelo eendaba kunye noluntu kufuneka zilungiswe kwezi zinto zilandelayo:

Isizathu sokuba iBoeing kuye kwafuneka ize nesoftware kungenxa yokuba iManeuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (i-MCAS), idlale indima kwingozi yeLion Air 737 Max kunye ne-Ethiopia Airlines 737 Max jet. Imithombo emininzi iye yatsho ukuba abaqhubi beenqwelo moya nganye babesilwa bezama ukugcina impumlo yeenqwelomoya zabo emoyeni, njengoko inkqubo ye-MCAS yayiphindaphindeka ukutyhala impumlo yejet emhlabeni kwaye ekugqibeleni yabangela ukuba inqwelomoya nganye iphazamise. Kodwa kutheni iMCAS ifuneka kwi-737 Max? I-MCAS yenzelwe ukulwa nokuthambekela kwempumlo kwiijets ezingama-737 ezinkulu ukuze zikhombe ngenxa yeenjini ezinzima ezibekwe kwindawo ethe kratya kwiphiko kuneenguqulelo zangaphambili ezingama-737.

Ngaba akukacaci? Makhe ndiyenze lula nangakumbi: I-737 Max iyilo oluneziphene. Endaweni yokwakha inqwelomoya entsha ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zentengiso ethile, abaphathi abaphezulu be-Boeing, kubandakanya u-CEO u-Dennis Muilenburg, bathathe isigqibo sokuphucula i-737 ngeenzame zokuba inqwelomoya ithengise kwangoko ukuthintela okhuphisana nayo omkhulu, i-Airbus ukukhusela iiodolo zayo. Xa kuvavanywa kutyhilwa ukuba iinjini ezisindayo kunye nokubekwa phambili kweendawo ekubekwe kuzo iinjini kwi-737 Max yenze inqwelomoya kunye nokungakhuselekanga kweenqwelomoya, ngaba iBoeing yayivala inkqubo? Hayi. I-Boeing yenza isigqibo sokuza nokulungiswa kwesoftware ukunyanzela isisombululo kwinto yokuba inkampani yayityhale uyilo lwantlandlolo lwe-737 kude kakhulu nomda wayo.

Ukwenza umzekelo wento eyenzekileyo, cinga ukuba inkampani yemoto yakha imodeli entsha ethi, ngenxa yoyilo, umphambili wemoto ujonge phezulu xa iqhutywa ngokukhawuleza kuneemayile ezingama-30 ngeyure. Ukulungisa ingxaki, inkampani yemoto inyusa ubunzima ngaphambili kwimoto ngama-500 eepawundi. Ngokobuchwephesha, imoto ihamba ngaphezulu kwinqanaba. Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yokungalingani kubunzima phakathi ngaphambili nangasemva kwemoto, imoto inokutsibela ecaleni xa ujikeleza iikona. Akukho sidingo sokukhathazeka. Iinjineli kwinkampani ezenzekelayo zenza isoftware enyanzela imoto ukuba iqhube kancinci ukujikeleza ikona isusa umba. Kwisithuba seeveki neenyanga, iingxelo ziqala ukuvela ukuba xa imoto inyanzelwa ukuba ihambe kancinci ijikeleza iikona, phantse akunakwenzeka ukuyiqhuba imoto kwaye uyigcine endleleni. Oko kulungiswa ngokulula, babhengeze iinjineli, kwaye isoftware iphuhlisiwe ukuqhuba imoto ngokuzenzekelayo kwiikona. Konke kulungile. Ngelishwa, kwisithuba seentsuku ezininzi, iintsapho ezininzi ziyabulawa xa uqhuba imoto, kuba ngesizathu esingaziwayo, imoto igqiba kwelokuba izilawule ngaphandle kwesilumkiso kwaye kwenzeka neengozi ezininzi. Ukuphoxeka, yitsho iinjineli. Ukungakhathazeki, itsho iCEO, siza kukhawuleza senze uphuculo kwaye xa sigqibile, imoto iya kuba yeyona ikhuselekileyo endleleni. Kwaye amaxhoba? Bangcwatywa bemka ngonaphakade.

Ngokusekwe kuninzi lweeyure zophando zokufunda ngeziganeko ezijikeleze i-737 Max kunye nokufunda izimvo ezininzi ezivela kwiingcali zokuhamba ngenqwelomoya, okwenzekileyo eBoeing kuyafana ngokufana nomzekelo wemoto endiwuchaze apha ngasentla. Bangamakhulu amathathu anamashumi amane anesithandathu abantu abaswelekileyo, kwaye inani elingenakubalwa leentsapho lonakalisiwe, ngaphandle kwesizathu esinye ngaphandle kokuba uBoeing enze isigqibo sokuqhubela phambili noyilo olungelulo, ngokwemithombo emininzi endithethe nayo.

Kodwa ungakhathazeki, u-CEO we-Boeing u-Dennis Muilenburg ungaphezulu kwayo yonke into. Ngokuka Muilenburg:

Sizimisele ukubonelela nge-FAA kunye nabalawuli behlabathi lonke lonke ulwazi abaludingayo, kunye nokulungisa. Senza inkqubela phambili ecacileyo kunye nokuzinzileyo kwaye siqinisekile ukuba i-737 Max ene-software ye-MCAS ehlaziyiweyo iya kuba yenye yeenqwelo-moya ezikhuselekileyo ezakha zabhabha.

Hayi, i-737 Max ayinakuze ibe yenye yeenqwelomoya ezikhuselekileyo ukubhabha- ngonaphakade -Kuba uyilo lwama-737 alunasiphene, uDennis. Olu ayilo luvo lwam. Abaqhubi beenqwelomoya, iinjineli, abaphathi be-FAA abathathe umhlala phantsi kunye nezinye iingcali zokuhamba ngenqwelomoya bezama ukulumkisa iBoeing ukuba kukho iingxaki nge-737 Max, kodwa iBoeing ikhethe ukungamameli ngokophando endilwenzileyo.

Kuya kwenzeka ntoni kwi-737 Max? Akukho nto. Inqwelomoya kufuneka ibekwe emhlabeni ngokusisigxina. Akukho ndoda ifanele ivumele umfazi okanye usapho ukuba lubhabhe nge-737 Max. Akukho mfazi kufuneka avumele umyeni wakhe ukuba abhabhe kwi-737 Max. Akukho bazali banokuthi bavumele abantwana babo ukuba babhabhe kwi-737 Max. Akukho mntu ukhathalele nabani na oya kuze abavumele ukuba babhabhe kwi-737 Max.

Iintsapho zabakhweli ezibulewe kwezi ngozi zimbini zingama-737 zikaMax zikwiphupha elibi elingenakuphela. Umnqweno we-Boeing wokufumana i-737 Max yokubhabha kwakhona awuthetheleli umngcipheko wokuphazamiseka ngakumbi kwinqwelomoya ebekungafanelanga ukuba iqinisekiswe ukubhabha kwasekuqaleni.
