They were required to establish communications with Las Vegas TRACON prior to entering this airspace. At their altitude, the pilot would not have been required to be in contact with ATC.Īs the aircraft climbed out of BVU and flew northbound, they entered the Las Vegas Class Bravo airspace. The frequency providing services in the immediate vicinity of the airport is 124.475, which is not recorded at LiveATC. That frequency ( 122.700) is not recorded by LiveATC and likely wouldn't tell us much if it were.īVU is under the jurisdiction of Las Vegas TRACON. I was not able to find anything more than that.īVU does not have an airport traffic control tower instead, pilots self-announce on a common traffic advisory frequency. I have found one audio file which contains communications from N801DT near the beginning of the flight. The end of the data in the link is the last reported location of their flight, so that should help us get an idea of which towers they were in communication with and at approximately what time. I will link the ADSB data and perhaps some folks in this community would be able to suggest which towers they would be communicating with so I can better refine my search in the audio archives. Yes, there will be an investigation report in 6-12 months, but obviously we would be curious to gather what we can for now. I'm curious if they may have reported their situation to Center so we can help all of their friends (big aviation community around them) get some understanding and closure. It appears as though they had loss-of-power if you look at the flight data, and vectored to land on a nearby freeway. Would it be ridiculous to ask if anybody perhaps would know where to look for potential ATC recordings? I have found archives such as, but I don't even know where to begin for which towers they hopefully communicated with before putting it into the dirt. Unfortunately this Sunday I had a friend and her husband who crashed and didn't make it.
