    CRASHED A-320 DATA COULD BE DECODED IN TWO MONTHS - MINISTER

    RIA Novosti, Russia
    May 31 2006

    MOSCOW, May 31 (RIA Novosti) - The decoding of the flight data from
    an Armenian Airbus that crashed into the Black Sea May 3 could take
    up to two months, the Russian transportation minister said Wednesday.

    Igor Levitin said experts would have to check about 300 technical
    parameters from the flight data recorder to establish the cause of
    the tragedy, and that Armenian technicians would have to be involved
    because the plane's pilots spoke Armenian during the tragedy.

    The recovery operation at the scene of the disaster was officially
    declared over on May 24.

    Tatiana Anodina, head of the Interstate Aviation Committee, said
    earlier that experts might face problems deciphering data from the
    cockpit flight recorder, because of damage to the recording medium.

    The airliner, operated by Armenia's Armavia, crashed while flying
    from the Armenian capital, Yerevan, in stormy weather 6 kilometers
    (3.7 miles) from Russia's Adler airport, which services the popular
    resort of Sochi. All 113 people on board died.
