[REDACTED] Area Officer B, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Seattle Air Route Traffic Control Center, Auburn, Washington, provided a transcription prepared by his office of tape recordings of transmissions between the Auburn center and Northwest Airlines Flight #305, which was under hijack on November 24, 1971.
[REDACTED] advised that the original tapes are maintained in his custody.
[REDACTED] advised that the Seattle Center worked Flight #305 on the way in to Seattle from Portland, but had no indication that a hijack had occurred and the aircraft did not squawk any signal as to a hijack situation. They were not aware of the hijack until they handed off the plane to the Seattle-Tacoma Tower.
[REDACTED] advised that after the plane took off from Sea-Tac on its way south toward Sacramento, California, the Auburn Center worked the flight from shortly after take-off until they handed the flight off to the Oakland Center, which occurred at the Oregon-California border.
In view of the fact that the times listed in the log provided by [REDACTED] are in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), an insertion has been made at least once in each page to convert the GMT to Pacific Standard Time.
