威廉王子勤務機去年險撞無人機

An air ambulance regularly piloted by Prince William "narrowly avoided" a collision with a remote-controlled drone, 1,900ft above north London last August, according to an official report.

根據一份官方報告，去年8月，威廉王子經常駕駛的救護直升機在倫敦北部1900英尺的高空“勉強避開了”一架遙控無人機，未與其相撞。

The royal was not on shift when the drone incident took place.

事發時這位皇室成員不當班。

Investigators found there had been a "high" risk of the two aircraft coming into contact, "endangering the EC145 and its crew" over a busy area.

調查人員發現，當時兩架飛行器相撞並在繁華區域上空“危及EC145直升機及機組人員安全”的風險“很高”。

A report into the near-miss by the UK Airprox Board suggested the drone was flying above its permitted altitude.

英國空中相遇委員會針對這起險些相撞事件發佈的報告稱，該無人機的飛行高度超出允許範圍。

The Eurocopter 145, which is used by the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA), has been flown repeatedly by William during his work for the service. The drone pilot was never found.

EC145直升機隸屬於東安格利亞空中急救隊，已經被威廉王子多次用於工作服務當中。目前尚未找到這架無人機的操控者。

A spokeswoman for EAAA said: "We can confirm that, in accordance with aviation regulations and procedures, a pilot reported a drone in his proximity on August 26, 2016."

東安格利亞空中急救隊的一名發言人表示：“我們可以證實的是，依照航空規定和程序，一名飛行員確實在2016年8月26日彙報了有一架無人機在他附近。”
