Review of radio communications between a Learjet that crashed January 5 and the control tower showed no signs of distress from the plane.
The small plane crashed in a forest preserve, killing both the pilot and co-pilot right after it had been cleared to land; about a mile from the Wheeling airport.
The recording was released Thursday by the Federal Aviation Administration. The National Transportation Safety Board is still investigating.
The contents of the voice recorder from the plane has been recovered, but its contents have not been made known.
A flight instructor at the airport said the plane had just been cleared to land as it was making its final descent, and nothing out of the ordinary was apparent on the recording.
The plane dove into the Des Plaines River. It was owned and operated by a Michigan-based company and had begun its flight near Pontiac, Mich.
