One of the record boxes of the Armenian plane A-320 which crashed
on May 3 has been found, press secretary of the RA Civic Aviation
Administration Gayane Davtyan confirms. According to her, this box
has recorded the conversation of the pilot and the Russian dispatcher.

Tomorrow authorized representative of the Civic Aviation Gagik
Galstyan will leave for Sochi. He is also deputy head of the Committee
investigating the results of the crash. Most probably the record box
will be deciphered in Moscow.

Is this box enough to get information about the reasons of the
crash? We asked this question to head of the Civic Aviation Union,
pilot Dmitrij Adbashyan.

He informed us that there are two record boxes – work and
emergency. The second is never removed, while the first is taken out
after every flight. “The data of the flight are investigated for the
plane service and other work”.

According to the pilot, regardless of the fact which box has been found
the data of the flight will have been recorded in it. According to him,
if the found box has recorded to conversation of the pilot and the
dispatcher, it cannot have failed to record the other conversations
of the pilot’s cabin.

What is the other box is not found? “Even if it is not, that’s
not important. If one is deciphered, that will be enough”, Dmitrij
Adbashyan told “A1+”.
