"Japan's Air Traffic Control Reforms Following JAL Flight 516 Crash"
TL;DR Summary
The investigation into the Tokyo crash between JAL Flight 516 and a Coast Guard turboprop has led to procedural changes, including the discontinuation of sequencing calls and the creation of a new controller position in the tower. The evacuation of the A350 took 18 minutes, and the crash marks the first hull loss of an airliner with a composite fuselage, prompting analysts to call for more study on the behavior of carbon fiber composites in fires.
