Decoding of the “black boxes” of A320 Armavia jet will last nearly
two months, Russia’s transport minister Igor Levitin said. According
to Russian printed media, Levitin noted that parameter data recorder
has around 300 parameters taped and decoding of this information can
last from 1.5 to 2 months.

As to the cockpit voice recorder that was retrieved first, Armenian
specialists will join Russian decoders as the pilots spoke Armenian
prior to the crash, Levitin reported.

According to Leonid Kashirski, head of the technical commission of
the intergovernmental committee on crash investigation, data on both
recorders are in good condition. Yet, the process of decoding has
given no result so far.
