FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION TAPES AND RECORDINGS

A. Seattle, Washington

B. Oakland (Fremont), California Center

C. Reno, Nevada

---

The Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Seattle Air Route Traffic Control Center, Auburn, Washington, handled the hijacked aircraft on 11/24/71, from Portland until it was "handed off" to the FAA Seattle-Tacoma Tower at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac). All transmissions handled by FAA are routinely tape recorded.

[REDACTED] advised that the Center had not been made aware that Northwest Airlines Flight #305 had been hijacked until the moment it was handing the flight off to the Seattle-Tacoma Tower. He advised that he had checked the tape of transmissions from Portland to the hand off, and there was absolutely nothing on the tape concerning a hijack and there had been no signal given by the aircraft of an emergency nature. For this reason that section of the FAA tape, is not included in this report.

[REDACTED] did make available a transcript of that portion of the flight handled by the Center from shortly after take-off to the southern border of Oregon.
