凱利·里索　曉航

飛機(jī)上乘客的安全依賴于一個平穩(wěn)、具有極強(qiáng)控制力的飛行團(tuán)隊，因此商業(yè)航空公司飛行員駕駛飛機(jī)時須遵循獨特的行業(yè)準(zhǔn)則。

The safety of airline passengers relies on a calm，controlled flight deck.So when commercial airline pilots show up to work，they have very different rules than the rest of us on the ground.

比如，有一條規(guī)則就是機(jī)長和副機(jī)長在飛行中不能吃同樣的餐食。雖然這條規(guī)則看起來有些不通情理，但的確有它必須的理由。如果兩人中某人的餐食出現(xiàn)問題（即食入中毒），另一名飛行員便不會被影響并繼續(xù)執(zhí)行飛行任務(wù)。

For example，theres a rule that prevents pilots and copilots from eating the same meals while they are working.While the rule may seem arbitrary，there is actually very good reasoning behind it.If，for example，something goes wrong with one meal（i.e.：food poisoning），the other pilot will not have been affected and can take over duties.

民航客機(jī)通常情況下左座為機(jī)長，右座為副駕駛。副駕駛負(fù)責(zé)輔助機(jī)長駕駛飛機(jī)、進(jìn)行空地、空空聯(lián)絡(luò)等工作。

雖然這種做法并非聯(lián)邦航空管理局強(qiáng)制規(guī)定，但大多數(shù)航空公司內(nèi)部都有類似的規(guī)定。

The practice is not mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration，however most airlines have their own rules about it.

此外，為飛行員搭配的餐食也講究“論資排輩”。中國東方航空公司機(jī)長韓先生在接受電視臺采訪時表示，不同級別的飛行員吃的餐食品級也有所區(qū)別。機(jī)長通常食用頭等艙的餐食，副機(jī)長使用商務(wù)艙的餐食。不過，果殼上某些飛行員反饋：一個好機(jī)長通常會讓副機(jī)長優(yōu)先選擇餐食。

But even in culinary options，seniority counts.In an interview with CNN，Captain Han Hee-seong of China Eastern Airlines said that the pilot usually receives the Prst-class meal while the copilot will get a meal from business class.Although some pilots on Quora reported that a kind captain will generally let the Prst ofPcer choose their meal Prst.

飛機(jī)上的食物中毒事故雖然罕見，但它的確發(fā)生過。1982年，波士頓至里斯本航班上，10名機(jī)組成員（含機(jī)長、副機(jī)長及飛航工程師）因誤食一批劣質(zhì)的木薯粉布丁而喪失行動能力。值得慶幸的是，這架飛機(jī)安全返航至波士頓，并未發(fā)生更可怕的事故。2010年以來，至少2名英國機(jī)長在飛行中出現(xiàn)了食物中毒的癥狀，原因可能是飛行前誤食了某些食品。

Food poisoning onboard airplanes is rare，although it has happened.In 1982，some bad tapioca pudding incapacitated 10 crew members —including the pilot，copilot and flight engineer —on a flight from Boston to Lisbon.The flight was able to turn around and land back in Boston without further incident.And according to data from 2010，at least two pilots in the U.K.fell ill to food poisoning that year while in the cockpit，although the cause of food poisoning could have been from something eaten before boarding.
