Seabed examined with sonar to spot airbus recorders
by Galina Gridneva
The seabed area where Armenia’s A-320 airbus crashed has been
examined with a sonar from a rescue vessel.
Buoys were placed at the search operation site, and the sea bottom
was examined from the vessel Zaliv, the Russian Transport Ministry’s
press service said.
Two sources of signal radiation are detected accurately. It is highly
probable that it is the flight recorders, the press service said.
The Navigator vessel will conduct telemetric examination to confirm
the information.
The signal sources are at the depth of 496 metres and at a distance
of five metres from each other.
All needed examinations were conducted from the vessel Cheleken
overnight. The received information is being analysed. After the
work, it will be decided what operation to be conducted to raise the
recorders.
