All 104 people on board the airplane are believed killed. The plane was traveling from the western city of Herat to Kabul when it lost contact in a snowstorm on 3 February.
NATO helicopters spotted parts of the wreckage on 5 February but bad weather and heavy snow prevented rescue efforts.
NATO spokesman Major Joseph Bowman said clear skies today allowed the helicopters to drop a small team of medics, mountaineers, and explosives experts near the crash site. There was no immediate word on what they saw.
