Head of the technical commission of the International Aviation Committee told “ITARR TASS” news agency that the commissions had finished decoding the black boxes of the Armenian A320 plane. One of the black boxes that contained information about the technical performance of the plane had information about the last eight flights of the plane between April 30 and May 3. The recording lasted 26 hours and 20 minutes, and it also contained the recording of the last flight, which lasted 1 hour and 26 minutes. After decoding the boxes, specialists found out that “the plane didn’t explode in air”. The engines functioned until crashing into the sea and the plane had enough oil for landing. During the last minutes before the crash, the plane operated automatically. On June 19, the RA Civil Aviation Board made an announcement regarding the same information.
