This is the best summary I could come up with:
The captain of the coast guard craft said after Tuesday’s collision that he had been given permission to enter the runway, suggesting the possibility of a misunderstanding that is likely to become a focal point of the investigation into the crash.
The roughly four minutes of communications show air traffic control clearing the JAL jet to land on runway C at 5:44 p.m. At 5:45, the coast guard plane was told to taxi to a holding point.
The coast guard pilot repeated the instruction, yet apparently entered the runway without any discussion with the control tower.
With the communications between the planes and air traffic control having been made public, the investigation will center on the reason for the coast guard captain’s decision to enter the runway.
The JTSB’s probe will run in parallel with an investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department, which will consider possible charges including manslaughter.
Though the airlines plan to return to normal service Thursday, one major carrier said the continued closure of one of Haneda’s four runways is expected to cause more delays.
