空巴首度運交具有'陡峭進場'(Steep Approach) 能力的A318予英航
以下是航太通報對陡峭進場'(Steep Approach)的介紹, 當然, readers 應以本文
最下方空巴對此名詞為準.
令人好奇的是波音 737各機種有類似的設計嗎?

歐洲航空安全署(EASA)在2007年11月19日核可配置CFM國際公司CFM56引擎的A318及
A318 Elite兩型飛機陡峭進場能力(Steep Approach landing capability)。今年6月,
歐洲航空安全署(EASA)已經核准了使用Pratt & Whitney PW6000引擎當推進動力的A318
。此檢定開放所有A318和A318 Elite的使用者在存在嚴厲進場要求的機場如倫敦,具有陡
峭進場能力。城市中心的機場通常被障礙物和嚴厲的噪音規定所限制,陡峭進場能使飛機
使用5.5度進場路線,而非大部分機場的3度進場路線,以符合這些限制。

Airbus delivers first A318 with 'steep approach' capabilityBritish Airways
brings scheduled long-haul flights to city centre airports
Blagnac, 01 September 2009
Airbus has delivered the first of two A318 aircraft equipped with ‘steep
approach’ capability to British Airways. The A318 is the largest commercial
aircraft certified to land at steeper than usual gradients and has the
potential to transform long haul travel between city centres, saving time and
cost to the business traveller. The delivery makes the carrier a new operator
of all four members of the A320 Family, allowing British Airways to benefit
from the fullest possible advantages of Airbus’ unique operational and
maintenance commonalities.
The A318’s ‘steep approach’ capability makes it ideal for operations out
of mountainous or otherwise constrained locations such as urban area airports
where the aircraft also satisfies strict low noise regulations. British
Airways A318s will each be equipped with two CFM 56-5B9/3 engines.
Willie Walsh, British Airways’ chief executive said: “The A318s were
specially ordered for the twice-daily London City – JFK service because of
their size, flexibility and ‘steep approach’ capability and will reinforce
our unrivalled schedule between two of the world’s greatest financial
centres. The A318 may be our smallest aircraft but it has a big role to play
in bringing a new dimension of style and convenience to the London – New
York route and shows our determination to invest in the future.”
“The A318 has the best capability and range of any commercial aircraft
serving city centre airports. It enables operators to open new premium routes
with enhanced cabin comfort standards thanks to the widest fuselage of any
single-aisle aircraft,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer,
Customers.
In British Airways’ layout, the A318s’ Club World cabin will feature a
spacious layout with 32 seats that convert into full lie-flat beds, equipped
with OnAir connectivity, allowing passengers to work during the flight with
email, web surfing and mobile phone text messaging. The two A318s ordered
will join a fleet of 11 A321s, 37 A320s and 33 A319s already in service.
British Airways has a further nine A320s and 12 A380s on firm order from
Airbus.
The A320 Family, which includes the A318, A319, A320 and A321, is recognised
as the benchmark single-aisle aircraft family. Each aircraft features
fly-by-wire controls and all share a unique cockpit and operational
commonality across the range. Around 6,350 Airbus A320 Family aircraft have
been sold and 4,000 delivered to some 300 customers and operators worldwide.
The A318 is also very popular in the Corporate Jet market as is the ACJ and
the A320 Prestige, which have altogether sold well over 100 between them.
Note to editors:
The “Steep Approach” A318 is certified for a 5.5° approach
slope. This compares to a nominal 3° slope for standard operations. During “
Steep Approach” certification the aircraft has to demonstrate it can safely
achieve a 7.5° angle, equivalent to the targeted angle plus a 2° safety
margin. The A318 and A318 Elite, were approved for steep approach landing
capability by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in 2007. The A318
Elite has steep approach capability as standard specification.
Operational commonality is unique to Airbus aircraft. It allows a pilot with
a “type rating” to fly an aircraft of different size and weight after
undergoing a single training course. For example, after completing the
examination for one of the A320 Family aircraft types, a pilot would be
qualified to fly all four members in the family. This advantage offers
airlines increased flexibility and cost-efficiency. More than 50 airlines are
already benefiting from Airbus’ unique flight operational commonality.
