„No data was lost as a result of the crash”. This is what the Acting Minister of Defense Atanas Zapryanov told journalists in connection with the data taken from the “black box" of the crashed training-combat aircraft L-39, reports from BTA.
„What was done in the Czech Republic was that the plant, with its means and tools, removed the data from the “black box". Relying on the “black box" means technologically and technically the data should be removed. We are satisfied and I am satisfied that the complete data has been taken down, Zapryanov pointed out.
„These data are now already in Bulgaria and the inspection and the prosecutor's office are currently working. They must be analyzed and read," he added.
The minister emphasized that both the state of the aircraft and the relationship between the pilots and ground control, as well as many other data, are being analyzed.
„I have ordered to check other processes of organization, planning, preparation, conduct of training flights”, said Zapryanov.
“We are checking some things that happened on the base, at the level of the type of armed force, to get the complex picture,”, he added.
The instructors have enough air. Last year over 100 hours, and this year – about 60 hours. We have an upright plane, but I want to know the whole picture”, the Minister of Defense also commented.
