由于天气恶劣和缺乏通信,皇家空军喷气式飞机几乎与一架民用飞机在威尔士上空相撞。 RAF jets nearly collided with a civilian aircraft over Wales due to poor weather and lack of communication.

1月,两架RAF Hawk喷气式战斗机在威尔士安格勒西上空几乎与一架不明身份的民用飞机相撞,它们彼此相距150英尺。 In January, two RAF Hawk jets nearly collided with an unidentified civilian aircraft over Anglesey, Wales, coming within 150 feet of each other. 联合王国航空prox理事会报告说,不利的天气使鹰无法攀登到更安全的高度。 The UK Airprox Board reported that adverse weather prevented the Hawks from climbing to a safer altitude. 民用飞行员没有使用他们的转发器,也没有与空中交通管制局联系,增加了碰撞的风险。 The civilian pilot did not use their transponder or contact air traffic control, increasing the risk of collision. RAF和UKAB目前正在努力改善军用飞机和民用飞机之间的通讯。 Both the RAF and the UKAB are now working to improve communication between military and civilian aircraft.
