The search for the flight recorder from the crashed plane A-320 has
been suspended in the Black Sea because of bad weather conditions.
Strong wind and high waves stopped deep-water operations using a search
robot, a member of operational headquarters told ITAR-TASS on Tuesday.
The passenger plane A-320 of Armenia's company Armavia fell in the
sea in the night of May 3 during a landing approach to the Russian
airport of Sochi.
The crash killed all 113 people on the board.
The plane's voice recorder was recovered from the sea floor on Monday.
Specialists believe that the flight data recorder is not far from
the first and is buried in a layer of silt.
The RT-1000 robot used in the search for it has been equipped with
an additional silt-clearing pump.
