The helicopter had received special approval to fly in foggy weather.


4.完整新聞內文:

The helicopter flew north from Orange County after takeoff on Sunday morning
and circled near Burbank, waiting for clearance to keep going. According to
audio records between the helicopter’s pilot and air traffic control at
Burbank Airport, the helicopter was given what is known as Special Visual
Flight Rules clearance, meaning they could proceed through Burbank’s
airspace on a foggy morning in Southern California.

根據Burbank機場的語音記錄，這台直升機在上空盤旋的時候是在等待特殊飛行批准。
在這個批准下他們才能通過大霧下的Burbank空域

Whether the pilot made the right decision — to  continue flying on despite
low fog in the hillsides of Calabasas, where the aircraft crashed — will
likely be at the center of the investigation into the cause of the crash.

「在山丘上有低空大霧的時候繼續飛行」這個決斷的對錯將會是調查的核心

Any special clearance from air traffic controllers would have allowed the
pilot to fly through the controlled airspace around Burbank and Van Nuys, but
would not give the flight “blanket clearance” to continue on from there to
Calabasas, according to a Federal Aviation Administration official.

根據一個聯邦航空管理局的官員表示，任何從航空交通管制者取得的特殊批准都允許
駕駛飛過一個被管制的空域，但是並不是一個 blanket clearance

“A pilot is responsible for determining whether it is safe to fly in current
and expected conditions, and a pilot is also responsible for determining
flight visibility,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to discuss details of the investigation.

一位匿名官員表示「直升機的駕駛員要負責判斷當下的能見度以及是否能夠繼續安全地
飛行」。匿名的原因是目前正在調查的關係，他不可以透漏其他細節
