Swissair 111 (10:14:50.3)@: Three-one-zero. (Unintelligible words obscured by a noise. Possibly the noise associated with donning oxygen masks.) Three-one-zero . . . one-one heavy.

Moncton controller (10:15:08.6)@: Uh, would you prefer to go into Halifax?

Swissair 111 (10:15:11.6)@: Uh, standby.

Swissair 111 (10:15:38.4)@: Affirmative for Swissair one-eleven heavy. We prefer Halifax from our position.

.....

Halifax controller (10:19:39.5)@: OK, it's a back course approach for runway zero-six (the runway is equipped with a ``localizer'' radio signal that shows the runway's location, but the system does not automatically show the pilot the precise descent angle). The localizer frequency one-zero-niner-decimal-niner. You've got thirty miles to fly to the threshold.

Halifax controller (10:22:29.6)@: OK, maintain one-zero-thousand. I'll advise you when you are over the water and it will be very shortly.

Swissair 111 (10:22:34.4)@: Roger.
