[REGNUM] The first data on the decoding of the An-26 flight recorder appeared, which crashed on July 6 near Palana with 22 passengers and six crew members on board.

According to Ren TV, the aircraft, when approaching, dropped to 800 meters and deviated from the airfield to the north by 5 km. The dispatcher indicated to the crew that the aircraft was flying 30 degrees to the left, at a dangerous altitude and at high speed.

"Experts believe that the crew was completely disoriented, not accepting information from the dispatcher about the bearing," the newspaper writes.

After the plane descended to 600 meters, at about 14:48 local time, the pilot was put on a course of 140 degrees. The movement continued along this course until the collision. When descending to an altitude of 600 meters, the crew stopped communicating with the dispatcher.

The preliminary cause of the An-26 plane crash near Palana was crew error.

As reported by IA REGNUM , relatives will be able to pick up the bodies of those killed in the An-26 plane crash near Palana only after a genetic examination and identification of personalities.

At the same time, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation applied to the genetic laboratory of the Russian Center for Forensic Medicine in Moscow with a request to conduct an examination as soon as possible.
