2. How do you think what causes flight delays?

Let's talk about the typical reasons that cause flights to depart or arrive late:

Weather

 This is probably the most obvious, and most common cause for delayed flights. There are three areas where weather affects flight schedules: at the origin airport, in-flight, and at the destination airport.
At the origin airport, weather can affect the scheduled flight arrival in many ways, such as a passing thunderstorm or snow squall, or the need to de-ice the aircraft. These normally temporary issues have lingering affects on flight arrival & departure times. When aircraft cannot depart on-time, later scheduled flights have to wait due to the backlog, as the spacing interval between takeoffs is fixed and cannot be compressed (imagine cars in traffic that have a required two car lengths between them). The net affects is that all of the flights scheduled to arrive from the airport with the weather problems will arrive late, as will many flights hours after the weather passed.

Traffic 

Many factors can cause air traffic, and all impact both flight arrival and departure times. Congestion isn't only a problem when you're driving to the airport. It affects aircraft as well and ultimately scheduled flight arrivals. Weather delays cause disruptions in normal air traffic patterns. Flights normally scheduled to arrive on time might have to 'cirlce' around the airport area as congestion requires air traffic controllers to hold some flights in a prescibed pattern before they are cleared to land.
So if you check on the flight status of a particular flight within 30 minutes of the scheduled arrival time, you may find a discrepancy, as aircraft placed in holding patterns around the airport may be reported as having arrived, even though the flight is still in the air.

Go-Arounds 

A go-around occurs when an aircraft is just about to land at anairport and the pilot decides it is not safe to land. So you will see (or feel) the plane suddenly increasing altitude, as if it were taking off again. Of course this affects the arrival time for that flight, as it could take up to 30 mins for the aircraft to return and land again.

Mechanical Problems 

Mechanical problems affect arrival schedules too. If a scheduled flight has a mechanical problem while at the origin airport, the airlines and FAA will update the flight status so travelers know when a particular flight should land at an airport. This is by far the greatest majority of cases - on-ground mechanical problems. However, if the flight experiences a significant mechanical problem while in the air, the flight might be re-routed to another airport. The FAA might not send updates fast enough to inform travelers and service providers (such as this site) of the change, and consequently the flight arrival status could indicate all is well while the flight actually landed in another airport.

 

3.Translate into Russian:

1.      weather is the most obvious, and most common cause for delayed flights;

2.      weather can affect the scheduled flight arrival in many ways, such as a passing thunderstorm or snow squall, or the need to de-ice the aircraft;

3.      weather delays cause disruptions in normal air traffic patterns;

4.      mechanical problems affect arrival schedules too;

5.      many factors can cause air traffic, and all impact both flight arrival and departure times

 

4. Say in English:

запланированный рейс; гроза, снежный шквал, обледенение самолета; воздушное судно; интервал между взлетами фиксирован и не может быть сжат; все это влияет как на прибытие, так и отправление; самолету придется кружиться в зоне аэропорта; вызывать сбои в структуре воздушного движения; приземлиться; набирать высоту; испытывать существенные механические проблемы.

 

5. IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW:

 

 Flight delay: These are your rights

Was your flight delayed? If so, the airline has a duty to take care of you. This includes free refreshments and snacks, and even hotel accommodation. If your flight is delayed more than three hours you can claim compensation. These rights are clearly defined in the European Union's Regulation EC 261/2004 on the rights of air passengers. However, airlines often try to avoid paying compensation by claiming the delay was due to "extraordinary circumstances", such as bad weather. This means they cannot be held responsible for the delay.

 

 

 

Flight delay: How your compensation is calculated 

If the airline is responsible for the delay, you have the right to compensation. The amount you are owed is calculated based on the flight route, rather than the price of the flight.

Flight destinations within the EU

§  € 250 compensation for a delayed flight of up to 1,500 km

• € 400 compensation for a delayed flight of over 1,500 km

§  € 600 compensation for a delayed flight of over 3,500 km

6. Find in the text:

 

a)      Если ваш рейс задерживается более чем на три часа, вы можете требовать компенсации.

b)      Вам предложат бесплатные напитки и закуски, и даже размещение в гостинице.

c)      Авиакомпании часто пытаются избежать выплаты компенсации, утверждая, что задержка была из-за "чрезвычайных обстоятельств", таких как неблагоприятные погодные условия.
