Tweed-New Haven (HVN) 2017 PLANE CRASH - How to get ATC tranmission audio?

[ideologic]

Hey everyone - I really am not the foremost expert on all of this (although someday I'd like to pilot helicopters), so I was wondering if someone could help me with this. Is there a way to listen to audio from ATC radio transmissions between Tweed-New Haven Airport and the pilots involved in today's crash in East Haven, CT?

Apparently, there was a mayday transmission sent by one of the pilots and I was hoping to play it back. I checked Tweed's Airport Code on LiveATC, but came up empty-handed (the message said HVN was 'not currently covered'). Can anyone help me out? I would appreciate it!

We do not currently cover that airport. Contact the FAA for further assistance.

I was wondering if the FAA archived ATC audio recordings, as well... do you know if they willingly release them to the public, or is this something I'll need to FOIA?

[dave]

They do archive most facilities (tower and radar) but not all. You will have to submit a FoIA request.

OK - I will submit one. Thanks for your help with this, I appreciate it!
