ICAO航空英語：空港は濃霧で真っ白。Capt.GPT何も見えず...

1コマの絵ｶｰﾄﾞは、濃霧が空港全体を覆って、一寸先も見えないホワイトアウト状態を示しています。試験官が最初にchatGPT航空のGPT機長に訊ねたのは、"Have you ever encountered a situation where you were unable to move your aircraft due to thick fog, making it impossible to see the outside?"でした。

Capt.GPTは"I have not encountered what is called a whiteout, but it is often that I can't see anything further than a few dozen meters in a dense fog. I have experienced it at Kushiro Airport and Kumamoto Airport, which are prone to fog in Japan."と自身の経験を述べました。

次に試験官が"Could you briefly explain about fog?"と尋ねてきたので、Capt.GPTは"Fog is said to have visibility of less than 5/8 mile (1 kilometer). Anything above that is distinguished from mist and haze (BR). (6/8 mile to 5 miles). There are various types of fog, so the main types of fog are Radiation Fog, Ice Fog, Advection Fog, Upslope Fog, and Steam Fog. At Kumamoto Airport, radiation fog is the cause of dense fog, and at Kushiro Airport, fog caused by the movement from the Pacific Ocean is known."と手短に答えます。

試験官が"What kind of accidents are expected when moving the aircraft in dense fog?"と問いかけてきました。
Capt.GPTは"When flying in the dense fog, there is a risk of collision with any object around the aircraft, such as other aircraft, towing cars, boarding bridges, lighting towers and cargo containers. The next concern is that the taxi route to the runway may be mistaken and the aircraft may become lost during the flight. If an aircraft mistakenly enters an active runway, there is a risk of runway incursion with an aircraft taking off or landing."と考えうる危険性を述べています。
