737 Max receives FAA approval
波音737MAX获批复飞The Federal Aviation Administration issued an order Wednesday that paved the way for the Boeing 737 Max to carry passengers again, ending the jet's 20-month grounding.
美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)11月18日发布指令,批准波音737 MAX机型复飞。该机型全球停飞至今已有20个月。The FAA released final details of the software, system and training upgrades Boeing and airlines must complete before carrying passengers.
FAA公布了波音公司和航空公司在复飞之前必须完成的软件、系统和培训升级的最终细节。
The plane is the best-selling jet in Boeing's fleet.
737 MAX是波音公司最畅销的机型。The 737 MAX crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia killed 346 people within five months in 2018 and 2019 and triggered a hailstorm of investigations, frayed US leadership in global aviation and cost Boeing some $20 billion.
在2018年和2019年,波音737 MAX机型五个月内在印度尼西亚和埃塞俄比亚发生两起坠机事故,导致346人丧生,引发了一轮猛烈的调查,削弱了美国在全球航空业的领导地位,波音公司因此损失了约200亿美元。While US airlines can start flying commercially once they complete the FAA's requirements, flights elsewhere will depend on approval from other regulators across the globe.
尽管美国的航空公司完成FAA的要求后就可以复飞该机型,但该机型在其他国家和地区的复飞则需要获得当地监管机构的批准。
