"Two flight recorders were installed on board the helicopter - a flight data recorder (FDR), which records the negotiations of the crew, and a cockpit voice recorder (CVR), which fixes the flight parameters," he said.
"As for a possible technical malfunction, it may occur even if a helicopter is new, or even during a general flight," said Ismayilov. "The investigation will clarify all this."
On November 30, at about 10:40 (GMT+4), a military helicopter of the State Border Service of Azerbaijan crashed during training flights at the Garaheybat airfield in the Khizi district, as a result of which 14 people died and two were injured.
