论南海地区国家航空行为的研判与合法性标准
详细信息    查看官网全文
摘要
南海地区上空是中国管理和开发其东沙群岛、中沙群岛、西沙群岛、南沙群岛及其附近海域的重要支撑体的一部分,中国对南海上空享有的权利包括维持中国大陆领土与其密不可分的群岛水域之间的主权联系,以及群岛自身发展所必需的既有的以及将来应当具有的一切权利。其他国家的"航行及飞越自由"不能干扰到此种权利的实现。学术界与实务界对航空器与航空行为的混淆使用,以及国家航空行为的概念研究缺失,使得国家航空行为以及国家航空行为国际运行的研判标准不明。本文通过对既有概念与定义的梳理,厘清了"航空器"与"航空行为"的区别,并在此基础上,通过分析国家航空器的目的属性与行为属性,界定了国家航空行为的概念。本文最后还对判定国家航空国行为国际运行的合法性标准进行了整理。
The South China Sea(SCS) airspace is a part of the important base supporting China's management and development of Dongsha, Zhongsha, Xisha and Nansha Islands as well as their adjacent waters. China's entitlement to the SCS airspace should include, all the existing and future rights necessary for the development of these SCS islands, and for the maintenance of the sovereign relations between China's mainland territory and its indispensable archipelagic waters. The freedom of navigation and overflight of other States should be without prejudice to China's exercise of such rights. Currently, the two concepts, "aircraft" and "aviation behaviors", are confused and used interchangeably both in the academic and practitioner circles. In addition, studies on the notion of state aviation behavior are few. Therefore, there is no clear standard to identify state aviation behaviors or state aviation behaviors performed in foreign or international airspace. This paper, by collating and examining the existing concepts and definitions, clarifies the differences between "aircraft" and "aviation behavior." Further, it defines the notion of state aviation behavior after reviewing the purpose and behavioral attributes of state aircraft. Lastly, the author sorts out the standards which can be applied to decide the legality of state aviation behaviors performed in foreign and international airspace.

    4我国《民用航空法》第五条也采用了同样的表述方法,表述为“本法所称民用航空器,是指除用于执行军事、海关、警察飞行任务外的航空器。”

    6 18 USC 32:(a)Whoever willfully-(1)sets fire to,damages,destroys,disables,or wrecks any aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States or any civil aircraft used,operated,or employed in interstate,overseas,or foreign air commerce;...shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years or both.这一表述中显然也是采用了“aircraft”,并没有区分航空行为。
    7 1)A类只允许IFR飞行,所有航空器之间配备间隔,提供ATC服务,要求实现地空双向通信,进入空域要进行ATC许可;2)B类允许IFR和VFR飞行,其它同A类;3)C类只要求IFR飞行之间、IFR和VFR飞行之间配备间隔,对IFR飞行之间、IFR和VFR飞行之间提供ATC服务,其它同B;4)D类只要求IFR飞行之间配备间隔,对IFR飞行之间提供ATC服务,对VFR飞行提供飞行情报服务,其它同C;5)E类只需要IFR飞行实现地空双向通信,VFR飞行进入空域不需要ATC许可,其他同D;6)F类空域对IFR飞行提供交通资讯和情报服务,VFR飞行提供飞行情报服务,所有航空器进入空域都不需要ATC许可,其它同E;7)G类空域不需要提供间隔服务,对飞行提供飞行情报服务,只要求IFR飞行实现地空双向通信,进入空域不需要ATC许可,其它同F。

    38《波音创造民航飞机改军用历史》,载于《北京日报》2007年5月22日。例如,波音737-100式飞机的设计目的是一种只有65到80个座位的小容量短途载客用机,因此波音737-100式飞机的航空器性质是民用航空器。但是从波音公司的产品发展来看,波音大型喷气客机形成了707、737、747、757、767、777系列,787也在研制试生产中。波音公司也应军需,将它们同时改装为军用飞机,如707-320B被改装为空军预警机,于1972年首飞;2006年11月,韩国向波音订购了4架E-737预警机,使韩国能监视整个朝鲜半岛及周边国家部分空域;747在1977年被改装后,就用作航天飞机的载机至今;767增加KC-767加油机,可以直接为远程重型战略轰炸机B-52H空中加油;1993年日本又成为767预警机的发起用户,并已装备了4架。
    39例如,1981年6月7日以色列空军实施“巴比伦计划”,出动14架飞机偷袭了伊拉克首都巴格达东南约20公里处的核反应堆,以色列对突击飞机全部采用约旦空军涂装,沙特雷达曾发现并令其通报身份,以色列飞行员即以流利的阿拉伯语回答道:“是约旦空军,例行训练。”对方信以为真。当约旦雷达发现时,由于机群编队密集,在雷达屏幕上显示的图像只是一个模糊的亮点,很像一架大型运输机,以飞行员即用国际通用美语回答是“民航机”,再次蒙混过关。
    40国籍标志选定规则:国籍标志须从国际电联分配给登记国的无线电呼叫信号中的国籍代号系列中选择,须将国籍标志通知国际民航组织。
    41国际民航组织理事会于1969年1月23日通过了附件七第3次修改,并于同年5月23日生效,引进了“共用标志”、“共用标志登记当局”、“国际经营机构”等词。按《国际民用航空公约》第77条规定,预期不以国家形式登记航空器的,可以采用共用标志。共用标志须从国际电联分配给国际民航组织的无线电呼叫信号的代号系列中选定。由国际民航组织给共用标志登记当局指定共用标志。例如,1983年国际民航组织理事会会议决定,阿拉伯航空货运公司(约旦和伊拉克联营)联合登记的航空器具有共用标志4YB,由约旦保存并登记,约旦和伊拉克共同承担国际民航组织规定的责任。
    42一般规定,登记标志须是字母、数字或者两者的组合,列在国籍标志之后,第一位是字母的,则国籍标志与登记标志之间应有一短划。临时登记标志主要针对尚未取得国籍登记证的航空器。我国《民用航空器国籍登记规定》规定,当用于试验和表演飞行,为支付出口的调机飞行(在国外交付时)以及民航总局认为必要的情况下,可申请临时登记标志。具有临时登记标志的航空器不得从事客货运输及其他经营活动。

    4 Article 5 of the Civil Aviation Law of the People’s Republic of China also adopts the same expression,namely,“Civil aircraft mentioned in this law refer to aircraft other than those used for flying mission of military,customs and police operations.”
    6 18 USC 32:(a)Whoever willfully-(1)sets fire to,damages,destroys,disables,or wrecks any aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States or any civil aircraft used,operated,or employed in interstate,overseas,or foreign air commerce;…shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years or both.Obviously,this provision used the word“aircraft”,without distinguishing aviation behaviors.
    7 1)Class A:IFR flights only are permitted,all flights are separated from each other and provided with air traffic control(ATC)service;continuous two-way radio communication is mandatory,and all flights are required to follow ATC clearances.2)Class B:IFR and VFR flights are permitted;other requirements are identical with those of Class A.3)Class C:IFR flights are separated from other IFR flights;VFR flights are separated from IFRflights;all these flights are provided with ATC service,and other requirements are identical with those of Class B.4)Class D:IFR flights are separated from other IFR flights and are provided with ATC service;VFR flights receive traffic information in respect of all other flights;and other requirements are identical with those of Class C.5)Class E:continuous two-way radio communication is mandatory for IFR flights;VFR flights are not required to follow ATC clearances;and other requirements are identical with those of Class D.6)Class F:IFR flights receive air traffic advisory and information service and VFR flights receive flight information service;all flights are not required to follow ATC clearances;and other requirements are identical with those of Class E.7)Class G:flights are not required to separated from each other,and all flights are provided with flight information service;continuous two-way radio communication is mandatory for IFR flights;flights are not required to follow ATC clearances;and other requirements are identical with those of Class F.

    38 Boeing Makes the History of Converting Civil Aircraft into Military Aircraft,Beijing Daily,22 May 2007(in Chinese).For example,Boeing 737-100 was originally developed as a short-range airliner with a capacity of 65~80 passengers.That is to say,Boeing 737-100was civil aircraft in nature.However,the development history of Boeing products tells,Boeing has developed large jet airliners including series 707,737,747,757,767 and 777,and series 787 is also developed and under trial production.In order to meet military needs,Boeing also converted its airliners into military aircraft.For instance,Boeing 707-320Bwas later converted into an early warning aircraft,which made its maiden flight in 1972;in November 2006,South Korea ordered four Boeing E-737 early warning aircraft,enabling South Korea to surveil the whole Korean Peninsula and some airspace of its neighboring States;in 1977,Boeing 747 was modified to ferry space shuttles,which has been used as shuttle carrier aircraft until now;Boeing KC-767 is an aerial refuelling tanker developed from Boeing 767,which can refuel a Boeing B-52H(a along-range,heavy strategic bomber)up in the air;in 1993,Japan became the primary user of Boeing 767 early warning aircraft,and four such aircraft have been put into service by now.
    39 For example,Israeli air force carried out the“Operation Babylon”on 7 June 1981.It deployed 14 airplanes,launching a surprise strike against a nuclear reactor about 20 km southeast of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.Israel painted its attack squadron resembling the aircraft of Jordanian air force.When Saudi radar detected the Israeli aircraft and the controllers required the Israeli pilots to report their identities,the Israeli pilots replied in fluent Arabic:“We are Jordanian air force conducting routine trainings.”The controllers believed it to be true.When Jordan radar detected these aircraft,due to the density of the squadron,the image displayed on the radar screen was just a blurring dot,like a large transport aircraft.When enquired,the pilots answered in American English:“It is a civil plane”.The Israeli aircraft muddled through again.
    40 Selection rule of nationality mark:the nationality mark shall be selected from the series of nationality symbols included in the radio call signs allocated to the State of Registry by the International Telecommunication Union.The nationality mark shall be notified to the International Civil Aviation Organization.
    41 The third amendment to Annex 7 was adopted by the ICAO on 23 January 1969,and entered into force on 23 May of the same year.The amendment introduced expressions such as“Common Mark”,“Common Mark Registering Authority”and“International Operating Agency”.In accordance with Article 77 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation,aircraft not registered on a national basis can apply for common marks.The common mark shall be selected from the series of symbols included in the radio call signs allocated to the ICOA by the International Telecommunication Union.Assignment of the common mark to a common mark registering authority will be made by the International Civil Aviation Organization.For example,the ICAO Council decision of 1983 required:the aircraft jointly registered by the Arab Air Cargo(cooperative between Iraq&Jordan)must bear the common mark“4YB”;joint register shall be maintained by Jordan;and Jordan&Iraq shall be jointly&severally bound to assume the obligations&responsibilities which ICAOattaches.
    42 Generally,“registration mark”shall be letters,numbers,or a combination of letters and numbers.The nationality mark shall precede the registration mark.When the first character of the registration mark is a letter,it shall be preceded by a hyphen.According to the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on the Nationality Registration of Civil Aircraft,with respect to a civil aircraft having not obtained a civil aircraft nationality registration certificate,a provisional registration mark may be applied,when the aircraft is used in test flights,performance flights,orientation flights for export delivery(to be delivered in a foreign State),or in other circumstances considered necessary by the CAAC.Aircraft with provisional registration marks should not engage in passenger and cargo transportation,as well as other business operations.
