[REGNUM] The media published an audio recording of the negotiations between the dispatcher of the Palana airport and the crew of the An-26 that crashed on 6 July. On the audio, you can hear that negotiations are being conducted calmly, in a normal mode. The dispatcher did not recommend the crew to descend into the sea. “I do not recommend going down to sea ,” the dispatcher said to the audio. "We are at sea and are not descending," a crew member replied. Further, the board went down. The dispatcher and the crew member talked about each action. The board dropped to 800 meters and then went down to 600 meters. Then the crew no longer answered the dispatcher's question: "What time will you be landing?" As reported by IA REGNUM , the An-26 plane crash occurred on July 6, when the plane flying from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to Palana crashed into a rock during landing. Parts of the aircraft are scattered along the coast, the tail has fallen into the sea. Onboard there were 28 people: 22 passengers, including two minors, and six crew members. |

| #1 Not landing in the water is always a good idea. Unless you're in a seaplane. |
