The aircraft involved in the accident were an Airbus A350-941 registration <\/span>JA13XJ<\/span><\/a>, and a DHC-8 registration <\/span>JA722A<\/span><\/a>. The Airbus A350 was just 2 years old and registered in September 2021. <\/span>The Japan Airlines aircraft was operating flight JL516 <\/a>from Sapporo to Tokyo.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Tracking Japan Airlines flight JL516<\/span><\/h3>\n

We tracked JL516\u2019s journey using <\/span>ADS-B<\/span><\/a>. Our data reveals a normal flight and approach from takeoff to landing. JL516 <\/span>departed <\/span>Sapporo Airport (CTS\/RJCC)<\/span><\/a> at 16:27 local time and landed at <\/span>Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND\/RJTT)<\/span><\/a> at 17:47 local time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Landing clearance was given to the jet at 08:44:30 UTC. At 08:47:32 UTC the Japan Airlines A350 reported its position as 35.54608, 139.80063 traveling at a speed of 120 knots ground speed on Haneda\u2019s runway 34R (also known as runway C). This coincides with the last reported data from the Japan Coast Guard Dash 8. The JAL A350 continued to report ADS-B data, though no position information, for approximately 1 minute after the collision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Prior to the accident, the Airbus A350 was regularly operating Japan Airlines\u2019 high capacity routes between <\/span>Tokyo (HND)<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Fukuoka (FUK)<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Okinawa (OKA)<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Sapporo (CTS)<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Japanese media reports that all 379 passengers and crew from the Japan Airlines Airbus A350 were evacuated safely.<\/span><\/p>\n

Initial reports indicated that all crew members of the Japan Coast Guard aircraft had died, but NHK citing fire department officials now reports that five crew members were killed with one seriously injured.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Tracking JA722A<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The last Mode S frame received from the Japan Coast Guard DHC-8 aircraft was logged at 08:47:32 UTC on January 02. The aircraft was not equipped with an ADS-B transponder. The Coast Guard aircraft was operating a mission to support the relief efforts following the earthquakes that impacted Japan on New Year\u2019s Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flightradar24 tracks aircraft equipped only with a Mode S transponder using Multilateration (MLAT)<\/a>. The aircraft sends a radio signal that contains the aircraft\u2019s unique ICAO 24 bit address, altitude, and ATC assigned squawk. Unlike ADS-B messages, Mode S messages do not contain the aircraft\u2019s position or speed. MLAT is used to calculate the position of the aircraft based on the time difference of arrival of the radio signals from the unknown source location (the aircraft) to the known location of Flightradar24 receivers. MLAT positions are only possible to calculate when multiple receivers pick up the signal from the aircraft. In the case of JA722A, signals were not seen by enough Flightradar24 receivers to calculate positions for the aircraft on the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
