They said they would turn left, then asked to turn right, intending to approach the airport\u2019s sole runway from the south. When that failed, air traffic controllers asked if they wanted to land from the opposite direction, and the pilots said yes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The plane <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/12\/31\/world\/asia\/jeju-plane-crash-maps-photos.html\" title=\"\">landed on its belly<\/a>, overran the runway and struck a concrete structure that housed navigation aids, bursting into a deadly fireball. Only two people \u2014 flight attendants at the very back of the plane, a Boeing 737-800 \u2014 survived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The cause of the disaster, the deadliest plane crash on South Korean soil, is still being investigated, and the exchange between the pilots and the control tower could be a crucial piece of the puzzle. That is because it covers a period of about four minutes during which both of the plane\u2019s flight recorders, known as black boxes, had stopped recording.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The transcript includes no information about the state of the jet\u2019s two engines or its electrical supply, which are intense areas of focus for investigators. It is still unclear why the black boxes went dark or why the plane\u2019s landing gear was not engaged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The transcript was read out on Saturday to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/17\/world\/asia\/south-korea-jeju-air-victims.html\" title=\"\">relatives of the victims<\/a> by a representative of a board that was set up to investigate the crash. The official told them that the readout excluded parts of the conversation to protect the privacy of its participants, according to people who shared it with The Times. Officials have not publicly released the transcript, and the board did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Multiple investigations, including one by the police, are underway in South Korea into the cause of the accident and factors that might have made it deadlier, like the solid concrete structure at the end of the runway. American and French investigators are assisting in one of the investigations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Much of what happened on that December morning remains a mystery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As the plane, which took off from Bangkok, approached Muan in southwestern South Korea, it began its descent, reaching an altitude of about 700 feet before running into trouble.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">First came a warning: Air traffic controllers told the pilots to be cautious because there were birds in the area. About a minute later, both of the plane\u2019s black boxes \u2014 its flight data recorder and its cockpit voice recorder \u2014 stopped recording.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That outage has complicated the investigation. But videos shot by onlookers, a preliminary accident report issued by the Korean authorities, and now the transcript of the pilots\u2019 exchange with the control tower provide some clues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This is what we know:<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Around 8:58 a.m., the pilots reported a bird strike to the tower and declared their intention to turn around. \u201cMayday, mayday,\u201d one of the pilots said. \u201cGoing around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Authorities later found feathers and blood from migratory ducks known as baikal teals in both of the jet\u2019s engines. Eyewitness videos also recorded a loud bang from the plane\u2019s right engine, which aviation experts have described as a compressor stall or a disruption in the engine\u2019s airflow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After the mayday call, the control tower told the pilots to \u201cmaintain runway heading\u201d and climb to 5,000 feet. The pilots agreed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That is standard procedure when an aircraft is unable to land, according to Hyoseok Chang, an assistant professor in the department of air transportation and logistics at Hanseo University in South Korea. In such procedures, the aircraft climbs to a safe altitude and waits in a holding pattern.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But seconds after the pilots agreed to that plan, before the airplane could reach 5,000 feet, the control tower pressed them to state their intention. They answered that they would make a left turn and land shortly on Runway 1. (That is professional terminology for approaching the airport\u2019s single runway from the south; Runway 19 refers to approaching it from the north.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The pilots may have determined that \u201creturning all the way to the holding point and attempting another approach to Runway 1 could cause further issues with the aircraft,\u201d Professor Chang said. The compressor stall observed in videos indicates that there was a problem with at least one of the jet\u2019s engines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ten seconds later, the pilots reported that they were unable to land. They asked whether they could \u201cmake a right turn and head to Runway 1,\u201d and the tower gave them permission to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The transcript does not explain why this attempt failed, too. But at just after 9:01 a.m., air traffic controllers asked whether the pilots wanted to approach the runway from the north. \u201cDo you wish to land on Runway 19?\u201d the controllers asked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The pilots said yes, and the tower cleared them to land.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Less than two minutes later, the plane hit the tarmac without its landing gear deployed. It skidded past the end of the runway, slammed into the concrete structure and burst into flames.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is not clear what the air traffic controllers or the pilots knew about the concrete structure, which housed what is known as an instrument landing system. Under international safety standards, such structures are supposed to be built to collapse on impact, but this one was not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Agnes Chang<!-- --> contributed
