Japan Coast Guard plane repeats ``on the taxiway'' and investigates the circumstances surrounding its approach to the runway
According to communication records released by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on the 3rd, the JAL plane received permission to land from air traffic controllers at 5:44 p.m. on the 2nd. At 12:45, the Japan Coast Guard aircraft was instructed to proceed to a stopping point on the taxiway leading to the runway.
Although the Japan Coast Guard aircraft read back the instructions, it appears that the aircraft entered Runway C without contacting the controller. The collision occurred about two minutes after the controller's instructions. The captain explained that he had "received permission to enter" after the accident, and the Japan Coast Guard believes there may have been a misunderstanding of the instructions.
Hiroyuki Kobayashi, a former JAL captain and aviation critic, said, ``As far as the published communication records show, the instructions given to the Japan Coast Guard aircraft by air traffic control were appropriate, and the Japan Coast Guard aircraft also read back accurately. It's more likely that it happened."
JAL explained on the 3rd that the captain of the JAL plane said, ``The Japan Coast Guard aircraft was not visible.''
