Yerevan, June 19. /ARKA/. An experts report on the causes of the crash
of the Armenian airplane A-320 will be provided after investigations
and analyses, reported Gayane Davtyan, Press Secretary of the RA
Civil Aviation Department.
According to her, on June 17 the Interstate Aviation Committee
completed deciphering the black box of the plane and synchronizing
the ground-based and airborne instruments.
"The airborne recorder contained information on eight flights from
April 30 to May 3, 2006. The record lasts 26 hours 20 minutes,
including the record of the last flight, 1 hour 26 minutes,"
Davtyan said.
The record showed that the plane was not destroyed in the air,
the engines were operating until the plane smashed into the water,
and the fuel was sufficient for a safe landing.
During the last minute, the flight was carried out in the "direct
crew control" regime with the autopilot operating.
The Commission started a comprehensive analysis to simulate the
flight and make a report on the real causes of the air crash and give
recommendations on flight safety, Davtyan said.
