The Russian website Gazeta.ru published information with this title
on June 19. The article reports that the International Civil Aviation
Committee finished deciphering the parameters of the flight data
recorder of the Armenian plane, which had plunged into the Black Sea
near Sochi. The parameters of the FDR were deciphered and compared
with the data of the ground services, reported the ICAO press service,
referring to the head of the task force, investigating the causes
of the crash of the Armenian plane. The FDR contained parameters on
eight flights of the plane from April 30 till May 3, 2006, including an
emergency flight. The duration of the record was 26 hours 20 minutes,
including the last flight, lasting for 1 hour 26 minutes. The data
of the last flight show that the plane did not crash in the air,
the engines worked until the moment when the plane hit the water,
the fuel was sufficient, during the last minute of the flight the
autopilot was off. The committee has started the complex deciphering
of the records. Earlier the CVR data was deciphered.
During the complex deciphering the committee will work out the
simulation model of the flight, afterwards the conclusion on the
cause of the crash will be published.
