影/佛州機場驚魂！達美航空起飛前「引擎突起火」 294人軟腳急逃
據外媒綜合報導，聯邦航空總署（FAA）發聲明指出，這架原定前往喬治亞州亞特蘭大的達美航空班機，於東部時間21日上午11點15分左右離開登機門後，其中一個引擎突然起火。
社群媒體上流傳的影片顯示，飛機後半部引擎冒出火焰與濃煙。隨後的影片中可見，跑道上的工作人員協助乘客撤離飛機。
該架客機機型為空中巴士A330，機上包括282名乘客、10名空服員與2名飛行員全數撤離，並被帶往機場航廈。
FAA證實，火勢已被控制並撲滅，無人受傷。
達美航空隨即發聲明表示，「當空姐發現其中一具引擎尾部有火焰時，依照標準程序進行了客艙疏散」，達美航空也將派維修人員檢查飛機，以釐清起火原因。
近期美國重大飛安事故不斷。今年1月，一架美國航空客機在雷根華盛頓國家機場（Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport）降落時，與一架軍用直升機發生碰撞，造成67人喪生。

FAA faces critical shortage of air traffic controllers. Here's a look into methods to retain and train them.
The United States is facing a shortage of approximately 3,000 air traffic controllers as many trainees quit before completing their certification, contributing to travel delays at airports across the country this summer. The Federal Aviation Administration's training facility in Oklahoma City serves as the sole location where the agency trains new controllers, but the program faces significant challenges with about 35% of students failing to complete the intensive three-month course. If someone fails, they are not eligible to try again, according to Chris Wilbanks, who oversees training and the FAA's efforts to address the controller shortage. "It's one and done," Wilbanks said. The FAA is working to reduce its training washout rate by adding a mentoring program to help students during their roughly three months at the FAA training center. The agency has also streamlined the application process, and expects more than 2,000 students this year — the most ever. However, a CBS News data review found that more than 90% of air traffic control towers in the U.S. are understaffed. The training program includes traditional methods such as tabletop exercises where students use handheld model planes to simulate air traffic scenarios — a technique that may appear outdated but remains effective, according to Wilbanks. "It slows things down for them. It gives them an opportunity to learn the airspace," Wilbanks said. The FAA is modernizing its approach with immersive tower simulators installed at 95 facilities nationwide, reducing controller certification time by 27%. These simulators allow for real-time training scenarios that can be implemented within a week of actual events occurring. Training exercises demonstrate the complexity of air traffic control, with controllers managing multiple aircraft simultaneously, some circling, others taxiing for takeoff, and others approaching to land. Precision in communication is crucial, since a single missing word in radio transmissions can create significant safety concerns. "That is an absolute crucial part to the training. It slows things down for 'em. It gives 'em an opportunity to learn the airspace," said Wilbanks. The FAA is also expanding a program to eight colleges, allowing students to complete basic air traffic control training at their schools rather than traveling to Oklahoma City. Even after completing initial training, new controllers face an additional two years or more of on-the-job training before achieving full certification, highlighting the lengthy process required to address the current shortage.

Small plane crashes at Ohio airport after landing gear fails
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a small plane crashed in Ohio. A 2021 Hatz Bantam biplane was attempting to land on the southern runway at Sandusky County Regional Airport around 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 12, the agency said. As the plane touched down, it made a hard landing and veered off the runway, causing the landing gear to collapse, the FAA said. A 78-year-old man operating the plane was uninjured, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said in a news release. The pilot was wearing a seatbelt harness and eye goggles at the time of the crash. No other people were on board. Investigators do not believe impairment was involved in the incident and did not find any hazardous materials on the plane. Sandusky County Regional Airport is a county-owned public-use airport near Fremont, about 87 miles west of Cleveland. Another similar plane incident happened in Montana The incident comes a day after a small Socata TBM 700 crashed into multiple planes while attempting to land at an airport in Kalispell, Montana. The pilot of the jet, which had four people aboard, lost control of the aircraft and crashed onto the runway, striking several parked airplanes and igniting fires on numerous aircraft. No injuries were reported. Michelle Del Rey is a trending news reporter at USA TODAY. Reach her at mdelrey@
