There may have been a misunderstanding when JAL collided with a Coast Guard plane.
However, Japan Airlines stated that the airline cannot say at this time. Why didn't the pilot see the Coast Guard plane?
This revelation comes as the Japan Transportation Safety Board (JTSB) begins an investigation into the accident. Officials were able to recover the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder from the Coast Guard plane. But they also searched for the data recorder box of the Japan Airlines plane.
Investigators are preparing to question the pilots of the two planes.
Meanwhile, the Japanese Ministry of Transport published yesterday (January 3). Recorded conversation between Haneda Airport's flight control tower and the captain of a Japan Airlines plane. And Japanese Coast Guard aircraft She added that flight controllers gave Japan Airlines permission to land on runway 34R.
Meanwhile, the Japanese Coast Guard plane received orders from flight controllers to wait. Entry into the amphitheater is still not permitted. He replied that he was heading to the amphitheater site.
This communications log appears to contradict the Coast Guard captain's testimony. The only survivor of the six crew members who told investigators was given permission to take the plane to the runway.
Hiroyuki Kobayashi, a former Japan Airlines pilot and aviation analyst, hypothesized the cause of the plane's collision. This is likely due to human error.
“I believe the cause of this accident was not a mechanical problem with the plane. But it was human error…” Hiroyuki said.
He added: “We were wondering why there was a Coast Guard plane on the runway. As another plane obtained permission to land, I believe that there was a communication error between the control tower and the Coast Guard plane. Or maybe the Coast Guard plane pilot missed something?
Tokyo Metropolitan Police opened an investigation into the incident. Charged with negligence at work causing injury and death to others
