On July 26 the General Department of Civil Aviation under the Armenian
government received the official release of the Interstate Aviation
Committee on the findings of the investigation into the crash of A320.
The records of the black boxes and ground services were deciphered
and studied. The simulation model of the flight dynamics of A320 was
worked out to find out the conditions and circumstances of the flight.
As it had been reported, 6 km from the coast the plane plunged into
the Black Sea and sunk. Everyone on board died, including 8 members
of the crew and 105 passengers.
During the investigation it became known that the dispatcher instructed
the pilot to stop the landing because of the impermissibly low line
of clouds and at a height of 340 m the crew stopped the landing and
turned the plane right gaining height.
The captain of the crew switched off the automatic pilot and after a
short period of gaining height he started landing. With inadequate
actions of the captain of the crew the second pilot could not keep
the landing parameters under control. The further actions of the
crew were not coordinated and were insufficient to prevent the plane
from falling.
The engine and systems of the plane did not fail, the plane responded
to the instructions of both the autopilot and the crew. The fuel of
the plane was sufficient to end the flight.
