Isibonelelo se-Recreational Aviation Foundation sixhasa isiteshi sezulu esikude esisebenza ngamandla elanga eSalt Valley Springs Airport eSalt Valley of Death Valley National Park ekude, eyaziwa ngokuthi iChicken Belt.
Isikhulu sezokuxhumana se-California Air Force uKaterina Barilova ukhathazekile ngesimo sezulu esizayo eTonopah, eNevada, amamayela angu-82 olwandle ukusuka esikhumulweni sezindiza esinamatshe.
Ukuze anikeze abashayeli bezindiza ulwazi olunembile ukuze bakwazi ukwenza izinqumo ezinolwazi oluthe xaxa, uBarilov wathola isibonelelo sesisekelo sokufaka isiteshi somsakazo wesimo sezulu esikude esisebenza ngelanga se-APRS eChicken Strip.
“Lesi siteshi sezulu esivivinyayo sizodlulisela idatha mayelana nendawo yamazolo, isivinini somoya kanye nesiqondiso, ingcindezi ye-barometric kanye nokushisa ngomsakazo we-VHF kwi-inthanethi ngesikhathi sangempela, ngaphandle kokuthembela kumafoni aphathwayo, amasathelayithi noma ukuxhumana kwe-Wi-Fi,” kusho uBarilov.
UBarilov uthe i-geology eyingozi kakhulu yale ndawo, eneziqongo ezingamafidi angu-12,000 entshonalanga eziphakama ngamafidi angu-1,360 ngaphezu kolwandle, idale izimo zezulu ezimbi ezingadala isimo sezulu esibi. Ukushintsha kwezinga lokushisa okukhulu okubangelwa ukushisa kosuku kungabangela umoya ovunguzayo ongaphezu kwamafidi angu-25, esho.
Ngemva kokuthola imvume evela kumphathi wepaki uMike Reynolds, uBarilov kanye nomkhulumeli we-California Air Force uRick Lach bazosingatha ikamu ngesonto lokuqala likaJuni. Ngosizo, bazoqala ukufaka isiteshi sezulu.
Njengoba benikezwe isikhathi sokuhlola nokunikeza amalayisense, uBarilov ulindele ukuthi uhlelo lusebenze ngokugcwele ekupheleni kuka-2024.
