Airways has completed all known tests to determine the reason for the broken transmission. No technical fault was found although the possibility of a fault existing at the time cannot be eliminated. In spite of the conclusion reached by the investigator in paragraph 2.22 of the report the possibility of premature release of the transmit key by the controller also cannot be eliminated. There are circumstances whereby the full transmission could have appeared on the second tape even if the transmission key had been released. It is not possible to analyse those circumstances retrospectively.
Airways considers that it is not now possible to determine the reason for the broken transmission.
