Machine on the surface of the collected dust and engine components of the samples have not yet shown results. The analysis of air samples, however, is found in volcanic material in the typical elements such as aluminum, silicon, magnesium, sulfur and iron.
Operations will continue piston engine fleet. Aviation training jet-turbine equipment, and kick start gradually.
