Russian experts have completed decoding data from the Airbus A320
operated by Armenia-based Armavia, which crashed on landing at the
Sochi airport on May 3, killing all 113 on board (AW&ST May 8, p.
39). The experts say the data show the aircraft, its systems and
engines were working normally and there was an adequate fuel reserve.
During the last minute of the flight, the aircraft was operating with
the autopilot switched off.
