ACCORDING TO IAC CONCLUSION, CREW IS GUILTY IN A-320 ARMENIAN LINER CRASH
Yerevan, July 26. ArmInfo. As a result of study of reasons of A-320
"Armavia" liner May 3 crash, it became clear that the airplane,
which was carrying out an automatic process of landing, was on the
exact landing line when, by the air controller instruction, caused
by meteorological conditions, the screw stopped landing and started
the right turn with climb at the height of about 340 m, it is said in
the official conclusion of the Intergovernmental Aviation Committee.
According to the conclusion, the pilot-in-command switched off the
autopilot system during the right turn and, after a short period of
climb under conditions of horizontal position loss by the airplane,
he put the liner in a landing position again. Under conditions of such
inadequate actions of the pilot-in-command, there was no proper control
by the second pilot with respect to landing parameters: steering
incline, height, speed. Further actions of the screw, it is said in
the conclusion, were dictated by signals of the warning system about
the threat of approaching the land, they were not coordinated and not
aimed at the airplane withdrawal from the landing regime. According
to IAC, no faults were fixed in the airplane engines and systems, it
was responding to both the autopilot commands and screw actions and
the quantity of aviation fuel was enough for successful completion
of the flight.
According to IAC, the crash happened May 3 at 2:13 AM by Moscow time.
The investigation was carried out in compliance with the rules of
the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Interstate
Agreement, signed between the 12 states, including Armenia and
Russia. During investigation, all the documents concerning the
airplane, the screw and the airplane-maintaining services, underwent
study. The Commission has also prepared recommendations for prevention
of such air-crashes in future, it is noted in the conclusion.
