DIPLOME NATIONAL DU BREVET SESSION : 2014 Feuille 2/7 SUJET TEXTE AIR CANADA FLIGHT MAKES A DETOUR TO LOCATE A STRANDED YACHT Picture this. You re on a plane flying from Vancouver, B.C to Sydney, Australia. You re flying over the Pacific Ocean. For the last 12 hours, your flight has been perfectly uneventful. And then suddenly the captain voice comes over the plane s speakers. 5 There is a boat in distress, the captain explains. And the plane is going to change course in order to help look for it. That s exactly what happened to 270 passengers on board Air Canada flight AC033 last Monday. 10 The captain was told there was a vessel in distress somewhere in the Tasman Sea, which is between Australia and New Zealand. A yacht with one person aboard had left Sydney, Australia about two weeks earlier. It had lost its mast, was very low on fuel and had been drifting. (There were no other aircraft nearby who could help to locate the yacht, so the huge jetliner was called in.) 15 The captain of the plane checked that there was enough fuel for a detour. The passengers were asked if anyone on board had binoculars; everyone was told to start looking out the windows and if someone spotted the boat, to push the call button near their seat. The plane descended from 7,500 metres to just 1,800 metres and started circling around the area where the boat was thought to be. 20 Someone in the plane saw the yacht! They pushed their call button to let the pilot know where the boat was. Everyone in the airplane cheered. A police boat was sent out from Australia to rescue the stranded sailor. 25 After that, the Air Canada plane and its passengers flew on to their destination in Australia - this time, without further incident.
