Information on the on-board computer. Okay, so Stingray 3 had engine failure in both engines. Hmm, what else is there? A map with what look like possible evacuation locations: Positions B2, B28, and B205. Interesting.

Stingray 3: investigate the crash site is a main mission in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
Description[]
Stingray 3: investigate the crash site is one of five missions that serve as the basis for the story line. These missions can be completed in any order. The Stingray 3 helicopter is located on the Southern Plateau, which is inaccessible without the help of a guide. According to Colonel Kovalsky, who is the commander of Operation Fairway, Stingray 3 landed safely, but was attacked by snorks and lost three of their crew.
To reach the Southern Plateau, the player can either ask wandering stalkers about it or ask Owl for 200 RU. Both will point the player towards Noah for a way towards the Southern Plateau. This unlocks a new side mission, Getting to the Plateau, which will enable the player to gain access to the plateau at the end. It is also possible for the player to make use of the Space Anomaly at the Burnt farmstead by themselves, although Noah is the only one who will point the player towards it.
After going through the anomaly, the player is transported to the Southern Plateau west of the crash site. The player will have two options for getting to the crash site: go directly east to the site, or turn to the southeast and find the cave opening behind some boulders. There are two corpses in the cave that the player may want to loot, Senior Lieutenant Smolyak and Warrant Officer Umerov. There are also three or four snorks in and around the cave. The player may want to take care of them before examining the helicopter as they sometimes attack the player after the upcoming cutscene. Also, there's a third corpse south of the helicopter, that of Lieutenant Drapei.
Approach the helicopter and hit action to play a cutscene where Degtyarev recites the information he finds on the helicopter's on-board computer. He discovers a map with three locations that appear to be evacuation sites. At the end of the cut scene, the mission is complete and three new missions display: Evacuation locations: investigate position B2, Evacuation locations: investigate position B205, and Evacuation locations: investigate position B28.
