九霄驚魂！北飛航班卻詭異轉向南極洋，馬航險些重演MH370詭異迷航事件！
根據紐西蘭媒體透露，前天聖誕節時，一架編號MH132馬航A330空中巴士從奧克蘭起飛前往吉隆坡時，疑是導航系統被輸入錯誤訊號，原本向北飛行的航線竟然變成向南飛行。幸好機長及時發現問題，通報紐西蘭地面控制台，立即糾正航道，從而避免了MH370迷航的慘劇重演。
根據報導，馬航MH132班機機長是在飛機起飛後就發現航行軌道似乎不對，立即詢問地面控制台，經過導航員辨認之後發現航線果然偏離了，原本應該向北飛往吉隆坡，不知何故卻變成了向南飛往南極！
地面控制台很快查出問題根源，原來是管理員一時手誤，將錯誤航線輸入了馬航班機導航系統。控制台與機長及時給予糾正，才將班機重新納入正確飛行航線。
紐西蘭民航局局長彼得克拉克證實這項消息，他表示一般上當飛機起飛的時候如果遇上強風，控制台是會指示飛往北部的班機暫時轉向偏南以避開擾流；過後才恢復正常航線；不過馬航MH132班機起飛當時並未出現強風或擾流，因此電腦設定航線忽然變成向南，確定是一項錯誤。幸虧及時發現，如果飛行超過一個時段才察覺，後果就不堪設想了。
民航局長盛讚馬航機長反應非常敏捷機智，在非常短的時間內就發現問題，從而避免了另一場可能發生的迷航災難。
「The pilot has done a very good job by noticing it, querying it and not just blindly flying off and ending up in the Southern Ocean,」 Clark said in the NZ Herald’s report.
《馬航機長在飛機起飛後就發現問題，還堅持自己的判斷與地面控制台爭執，而不是盲目按照電腦程式飛行；否則很可能飛機最後將耗盡燃油墜落南極洋。》克拉克說。
MAS pilot spooked after plane headed north begins flying
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 27 — A Malaysia Airlines Bhd (MAS) flight from Auckland, New Zealand to Kuala Lumpur unexpectedly began travelling south and surprised pilots who were expecting a northerly route during a Christmas Day flight.
The pilot of flight MH132 noticed that the Airbus A330’s strange path soon after take-off, and immediately contacted Auckland Oceanic’s air traffic controllers, according to a New Zealand Herald report today.
A check revealed that the southerly route had inexplicably been logged with Airways — the air traffic manager for flights in New Zealand and the South Pacific — and subsequently transmitted to the MAS flight.
Airways said it is currently working with MAS — which lost two planes in a tragic 2014 — to determine how the unusual flight route had been submitted.
「We have an internal safety team who will investigate it,」 an Airways representative was quoted as saying by the NZ Herald.
「The flight plan the airline filed with us was going to Kuala Lumpur but via a slightly different route than the pilot was expecting.」
Peter Clark, the head of New Zealand’s aviation regulator, commended the airline’s pilot for spotting the error quickly and resolving the problem, although he added that some northerly flights were occasionally routed south to avoid winds.
Weather did not appear to be a factor in this case, however, and Clark said the onus was now on MAS to determine the error that led to the plane flying in the opposite direction of its intended travel.
「The pilot has done a very good job by noticing it, querying it and not just blindly flying off and ending up in the Southern Ocean,」 Clark said in the NZ Herald’s report.
MAS did not respond to the NZ Herald’s requests for comment.
The Malaysian flag carrier suffered two major aviation disasters last year, first with the disappearance of MH370 en route from KL to Beijing in March, and then, the downing of MH17 that was flying from Amsterdam to Malaysia. A total of 577 lives were lost in both incidents.
