At 5:47pm, the collision occurred.
The recording from Haneda’s control tower contains a voice saying “continue approach”.
The controller is heard saying: “Clear to land 34R Japan Airlines 516.”
Following the crash, the 367 passengers and 12 crew were able to escape the burning plane.
Five passengers on the coastguard’s De Havilland Dash-8 died while the captain of the plane is said to be in critical condition.
While the Japan Airlines plane was told to land, the coastguard aircraft had been told not to go on the runway, according to reports.
The captain of the Coast Guard plane said he had entered the runway after receiving permission, a Coast Guard official said
He admitted, however, that there is no indication in the communications transcripts that he had been given clearance to do so.
Transport Minister Tetsuo Saito told reporters: “The transport ministry is submitting objective material and will fully cooperate with the … investigation to ensure we work together to take all possible safety measures to prevent a recurrence.”
Captain Genki Miyamoto, 39, was the only survivor on board the De Havilland Dash-8.
He reportedly told his base: “The aircraft exploded on the runway. I escaped. The [condition of the] other crew members is unknown.”
Aviation analyst Hiroyuki Kobayashi, who is a former JAL pilot, said: “There’s a strong possibility there was a human error.
“Aircraft accidents very rarely occur due to a single problem, so I think that this time too there were two or three issues that led to the accident.”
Witnesses were seen watching on in horror as the plane wreckage burst into flames.
Video footage also showed the Japan Airlines aircraft skidding across the tarmac with smoke billowing out of its wing.
