联邦航空局恢复驾驶舱实地培训：空管员可登商用与军用飞机跟飞 疫情后首次重启
美国联邦航空局（FAA）10月14日宣布，恢复「驾驶舱培训」（Flight Deck Training）计划，让空中交通管制员登上商用、通用和军用飞机，从驾驶舱一线了解飞行运行。
该计划允许管制员申请乘坐符合条件航班的驾驶舱观察席（jumpseat），亲身体验飞行员的工作负荷、座舱程序，以及空管指令对机组的影响。每名管制员每年可参加两次商用或通用航空飞行和一次军用飞行，须经审批并在参加后提交学习报告。FAA与全国空管员协会（NATCA）密切合作恢复了这一在新冠疫情初期暂停的计划，主要美国航空公司均已同意参加，正式运行预计在感恩节后开始。
FAA局长布莱恩·贝德福德（Bryan Bedford）说，倾听一线管制员的意见后，FAA很高兴恢复这一计划，第一手经验能让管制员更胜任工作。NATCA主席尼克·丹尼尔斯（Nick Daniels）表示，驾驶舱里的亲身体验无可替代，该计划是管制员培训的重要组成部分。
FAA Reinstates Flight Deck Training, Letting Controllers Ride Along in Cockpits Again
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced on October 14 that it is reinstating its Flight Deck Training program, giving air traffic controllers firsthand experience aboard commercial, general aviation and military aircraft.
Controllers may apply for jumpseat access on eligible flights to observe pilot workload, cockpit procedures and how air traffic control instructions affect flight crews. Each controller may take two commercial or general aviation flights and one military flight per year, subject to approval, and must file a report on what they learned. The FAA worked closely with the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) to restore the program, which was paused at the start of the pandemic; all major U.S. airlines have agreed to participate, and formal operations are expected to begin after Thanksgiving.
FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said that after listening to frontline controllers, the agency is excited to bring the program back, and that firsthand experience makes controllers better at their jobs. NATCA President Nick Daniels said there is no substitute for firsthand experience in the cockpit and called the program a vital part of controller training.
