AIBN issued a statement today that their work on the crash site is finished.

From the accident of the Mi-8AMT registration RA-22312 the AIBN has recovered the fuselage, the tail-boom, the CVR and GNSS-units. Severely damaged parts from the FDR have been found, but no memory unit. The condition of the FDR makes any further search for the memory unit pointless.

The CVR and GNSS-units has been brought to Moscow for downloading and analysis in cooperation with the Russian AIB MAK (Interstate Aviation Committee).

The aircraft will be brought to mainland Norway for further investigation.

A search for the 7 crewmembers and passengers still missing is ongoing.
