❑ TEXTO 1: Read the text and answer questions 25 and 26.
Does the weather forecast affect flights?
A previsão do clima afeta os voos?
The weather forecast is a key element of the pilot’s preflight checks and flight crew will continually update their
weather information throughout a flight.
A previsão do tempo é um elemento-chave das verificações pré-voo do piloto e a tripulação atualizará continuamente suas informações meteorológicas durante o voo.
There are lots of
types of weather to consider.
Existem muitos tipos de clima a serem considerados.
Fog, snow, ice and crosswind mean that air traffic
controllers have to increase the gap between planes that are
landing, reducing the number of aircraft that an airport can
manage.
Nevoeiro, neve, gelo e vento cruzado significam que os controladores de tráfego aéreo têm que aumentar a distância entre os aviões que pousam, reduzindo o número de aeronaves que um aeroporto pode controlar.
The same weather can make it slower and more
difficult for the planes to taxi between runway and terminal
building.
O mesmo clima pode tornar mais lento e mais difícil para os aviões taxiarem entre a pista e o edifício do terminal.
As many commercial flights are cruising more than
five miles above the ground, they can be affected by different
weather than we are experiencing on the ground.
Como muitos voos comerciais navegam a mais de 5 milhas (8 km) acima do solo, podem ser afetados por condições meteorológicas diferentes das que vivemos no solo.
Safety is always the first consideration for the aviation
industry.
A segurança é sempre a primeira consideração para a indústria da aviação.
An aircraft that’s stood overnight in freezing
weather will need de-icing before its first flight in the
morning.
Uma aeronave que passe a noite em um clima gelado precisará de descongelamento antes de seu primeiro voo pela manhã.
That’s a fairly big task.
Essa é uma tarefa bastante importante.
25 – According to the text, we can infer that ___________________.
(A) there is no need to inform the crew of the weather condition during the flight.
(B) there is no relationship between weather condition and safety
(C) the weather condition is of paramount importance for aviation
(D) the weather condition only affects aircraft in cruise flight
• Gabarito C
We can infer that the weather condition is of paramount importance for aviation.
Pelo texto, podemos inferir que as condições meteorológicas são de suma importância para a aviação.
(A) there is no need to inform the crew of the weather condition during the flight.
não há necessidade de informar a tripulação sobre as condições meteorológicas durante o voo.
(B) there is no relationship between weather condition and safety
não há relação entre condições climáticas e segurança.
(C) the weather condition is of paramount importance for aviation
as condições meteorológicas são de suma importância [fundamental importância] para a aviação.
➽De acordo com o trecho:
• "[...] The weather forecast is a key element of the pilot’s preflight checks and flight crew will continually update their weather information throughout a flight.
• A previsão do clima é um elemento fundamental das verificações de pré-voo do piloto e a tripulação atualizará continuamente suas informações meteorológicas durante o voo.

(A) snow, fog, ice and crosswind are climatic factors that directly influence the work of air traffic controllers.
neve, neblina, gelo e vento cruzado são fatores climáticos que influenciam diretamente o trabalho dos controladores de tráfego aéreo.
➽ De acordo com o 2º PARÁGRAFO:
• "[...] Fog, snow, ice and crosswind mean that air traffic controllers have to increase the gap between planes that are landing, reducing the number of aircraft that an airport can manage.

Tenerife Airport disaster
Desastre no aeroporto de Tenerife
The Tenerife Airport disaster occurred on March 27,
1977, when two Boeing 747 passenger jets collided on the
runway at Los Rodeos Airport, on the Spanish Island of
Tenerife.
O desastre do Aeroporto de Tenerife ocorreu em 27 de março de 1977, quando dois jatos de passageiros Boeing 747 colidiram na pista do Aeroporto Los Rodeos, na ilha espanhola de Tenerife.
The collision occurred when KLM flight 4805
initiated its takeoff run while Pan Am Flight 1736 was still on
the runway.
A colisão ocorreu quando o voo 4805 da KLM iniciou sua corrida de decolagem enquanto o voo 1736 da Pan Am ainda estava na pista.
The impact and resulting fire killed everyone on
board KLM 4805 and most of the occupants of Pan Am 1736,
with only 61 survivors in the front section of the aircraft.
O impacto e o incêndio resultante mataram todos a bordo do KLM 4805 e a maioria dos ocupantes do Pan Am 1736, com apenas 61 sobreviventes na seção dianteira da aeronave.
Resulting in 583 fatalities, the disaster is the deadliest
accident in aviation history.
Resultando em 583 mortes, o desastre é o acidente mais mortal da história da aviação.
A terrorist incident at Gran Canaria Airport had caused
many flights to be diverted to Los Rodeos, including the two
aircraft involved in the accident.
Um incidente terrorista no aeroporto de Gran Canaria fez com que muitos voos fossem desviados para Los Rodeos, incluindo as duas aeronaves envolvidas no acidente.
The airport quickly became
congested with parked airplanes blocking the only taxiway
and forcing departing aircraft to taxi on the runway instead.
O aeroporto rapidamente ficou congestionado com aviões estacionados bloqueando a única pista e forçando as aeronaves que partiam a taxiar na pista.
Patches of thick fog were drifting across the airfield; hence
visibility was greatly reduced for pilots and the control tower.
Manchas de neblina espessa flutuavam pelo campo de aviação; portanto, a visibilidade foi bastante reduzida para os pilotos e a torre de controle.
The subsequent investigation by Spanish Authorities
concluded that the primary cause of the accident was the
KLM captain’s decision to take off in the mistaken belief that
a takeoff clearance from air traffic control had been issued.
A investigação subsequente das autoridades espanholas concluiu que a principal causa do acidente foi a decisão do capitão da KLM de decolar, na crença equivocada de que uma autorização de decolagem do controle de tráfego aéreo havia sido emitida.

❑ TEXTO:
Traffic
Tráfego
►The day-to-day problems faced by the air traffic control
system are primarily related to the volume of air traffic
demand placed on the system and weather.
Os problemas diários enfrentados pelo sistema de controle de tráfego aéreo estão principalmente relacionados ao volume de demanda de tráfego aéreo colocado no sistema e ao clima.
►Several factors
dictate the amount of traffic that can land at an airport in a
given amount of time.
Vários fatores determinam a quantidade de tráfego que pode chegar a um aeroporto em um determinado período de tempo.
►Each landing aircraft must touch down,
slow, and exit the runway before the next crosses the
approach end of the runway.
Cada aeronave de pouso deve pousar, desacelerar e sair da pista antes que a próxima cruze o final de aproximação da pista.
►This process requires at least one
and up to four minutes for each aircraft.
Este processo requer pelo menos um e até quatro minutos para cada aeronave.
►Problems begin when
airlines schedule more arrivals into an airport than can be
physically handled, or when delays elsewhere cause groups of
aircraft - that would otherwise be separated in time - to arrive
simultaneously.
Os problemas começam quando as companhias aéreas programam mais chegadas a um aeroporto do que as que podem ser fisicamente tratadas, ou quando atrasos noutros locais fazem com que grupos de aeronaves - que de outra forma seriam separados no tempo - cheguem simultaneamente.
►Aircraft must then be delayed in the air by
holding over specified locations until they may be safely
sequenced to the runway.
As aeronaves devem então ser retardadas no ar, mantendo-se em locais especificados até que possam ser sequenciadas com segurança para a pista.
