/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Any reasoning on the causes of A-320 jet crash near
Sochi with a reference to anonymous sources is groundless, said the
press office of Armavia national carrier. It’s not correct to speak
of the reasons of the crash until the decoding of the flight recorders
is finished, the statement says.
"The International Aviation Committee should announce the official
results. While anonymous publications in media can just be paid in
order to exclude the Armenian national carrier from the marker,"
the statement says, reported Gazeta.ru.
To remind, Moscovsky Komsomolets newspaper reported that according
to an anonymous source in the investigating committee, the faults
of the crew have become the reason for the A-320 crash in the Black
Sea. The decoding of the flight recorders showed that the pilots
"have lost spatial orientation" in bad weather conditions. It was also
ascertained that the pilots had taken a too big list when making the
second turn by order of the flying control officer. These factors,
specialists say, led to the catastrophe.
On May 3 night Airbus-320 owned by Armavia national carrier crashed
in the Black Sea 6 km away from Adler airport killing all of 113
people aboard, including 6 children and 8 crewmembers. Among them
were 26 Russian citizens, one Ukrainian and one Georgian citizen,
while the rest were Armenian citizens.
