南非航空公司Airlink在开普敦体育场举行的南非与新西兰橄榄球测试赛前进行了一场低空飞行表演1。两架Embraer客机以约150节(172英里/小时)的速度低空掠过体育场,距离屋顶仅12至14米1。现场约5.6万观众为这一表演欢呼1,飞行中每架飞机上配有三名资深机长,机舱内没有乘客1。南非民用航空局和空中交通导航服务为该飞行提供了指导、批准和支持1。
然而,这场表演引发了关于飞行安全的广泛讨论。南非飞行员与飞机所有者协会主席克里斯·马蒂努斯表示:"如果发生不利情况,在这样的高度你就是没有选择"1。澳大利亚航空顾问、前军事和商业飞行员基思·通金警告称,这场飞行为类似活动创造了先例,可能导致不良后果1。多位航空专家对这一极小的容错空间提出了质疑1。
Airlink, a South African airline, staged a dramatic low-altitude display with two aircraft over Cape Town Stadium ahead of a rugby union test match between South Africa and New Zealand.1 The lead aircraft passed just 12 to 14 meters above the stadium roof while traveling at approximately 150 knots, or 172 miles per hour.1 The approximately 56,000 spectators in attendance cheered the maneuver, which featured no passengers aboard, with each aircraft crewed by three senior pilots.1
The Civil Aviation Authority of South Africa and air navigation services provided guidance, approval, and support for the September 7 flyby.1 However, the performance has prompted considerable debate about aviation safety risks. Chris Martinus, chairman of the South African Pilots and Aircraft Owners Association, cautioned that such minimal altitude offers little margin for error, stating: "If something adverse happens, at that height you have no options."1 Keith Tonkin, an Australian aviation consultant and former military and commercial pilot, warned that the display could establish a precedent for similar flights with potentially dangerous consequences.1
