| 摘要： | Children younger than 2 years can fly on U.S.-registered carriers, seated on an adult's lap and without the purchase of a ticket (14 CFR 121); thus, neither the government nor the airlines can easily track the number of child passengers in this age group. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) submitted a report to Congress in May 1995 that estimated infant enplanements to be approximately 1%of all passenger enplanements. This estimate was based on a combination of air carrier surveys, industry experience, and a sampling of passengers. Applying this rate, the FAA has projected 80 million infant enplanements for the 10-year period 2000-2009 (Department of Transportation (DOT), 1998). Further-more, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) cites an estimated 4.6 million children younger than 2 years who fly on U.S. domestic airlines annually in their policy statement regarding the use of restraint devices (AAP, 2001). The importance of these 'invisible' passengers in emergencies is generally unknown; similarly, recommended procedures for emergency management of such precious cargo are few. A review of accident/incident data collected by the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) identified 29 transport airplane accidents between 1970 and 1995 that required the evacuation of 67 infants. Thirty-four percent of those children were injured: six infants received minor injuries, nine infants received serious injuries, and eight infants received fatal injuries. In addition, between January 1, 1988, and November 1, 1996, there were 519 precautionary emergency evacuations involving 42,835 transport airplane passengers and crew. Based on the FAA estimates, these evacuations could have included as many as 1,500 infants; unfortunately, comprehensive infant passenger and injury statistics are not available. |
