/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The flight recorder of A-320 airbus of Armavia air
company that was lifted from the sea bottom yesterday is not sent
to the Inter-State Aviation Committee (ISAC) for decoding yet. "The
speech recorder of A-320 is in Sochi and is not provided to us yet,"
reported head of the ISAC Center for Air Transport Investigations
Rudolf Teymurazov. He also noted, "It is good fortune to find even
one flight recorder among the fragments." Earlier the experts doubted
the flight recorders could be found.
"I am skeptical over the opportunity to find anything at the Black
Sea bottom farther than a kilometer away from the coastline," Rudolf
Teymurazov said a day after the catastrophe.
"There are real mountains under the water and their tops are covered
with silt," he added. In the expert's words, in case a plane falls into
the sea, maximum 3% of its fragments are found, reports RIA Novosti.
On the night of May 3 a Yerevan-Sochi flight of Armavia airlines
crashed in the Black Sea 6 km away from Adler airport killing all of
113 passengers, including 6 children and 8 members of the crew. Among
them were 26 Russian citizens, one Ukrainian and one Georgian citizen,
while the rest were Armenian citizens.
