<h2>MH370 Pilot to Air Traffic Control (ATC) Radio Telephony Transcripts</h2>
<p>When radio communications between an aircraft and air traffic control is spoken, like using a telephone, it is called <i>radiotelephony</i>. Radio communications between aircraft and air traffic controllers are recorded for later reference and a written version is therefore a <i>radiotelephony transcript</i>.</p>
<p>This page links to two versions of the transcript of communications between MH370 and air traffic control; the first released as a <i>Pilot-ATC Radiotelephony Transcript</i>, referred to as the Original Version; and an updated version, compiled from the Appendices to the Factual Information (2015) and Safety investigation Report (2018).</p>

<h5>MH370 [[Communications:Pilot-ATC Radiotelephony Transcript/V1|Pilot-ATC Radiotelephony Transcript - Original Version]]</h5>
<p>The first version of a <i>Pilot-ATC Radiotelephony Transcript</i> was released at a Press Briefing by Hishammuddin Hussein, Minister of Defence and Acting Minister of Transport on 1 April 2014. See the <html><a href="/MH370News:2014/Day 025" target="_blank">Media Release</a></html> for details.</p>
<p>When the <i>Factual Information</i> was released in 2015 the Appendices contained more accurate transcriptions. Some small changes were made when the transcripts were included in Appendices with the <i>Safety Investigation Report</i> in 2018. However, the original document itself was not updated.</p>
