CENTRAL DEPARTMENT OF RA CIVIL AVIATION HAS NO CLEAR POSITION ON IAC CONCLUSION ON A-320 AIR CRASH CAUSES
Unfortunately, one can state that the reason of "Armavia" A-320 liner crash was a human factor, however, it is still unclear what had become a reason of such actions of pilots and it is still to be clarified, Artiom Movsissian, the Chairman of the Central Department of the Civil Aviation of Armenia, said today at the special called press-conference, commenting on the conclusion of the Interstate Aviation Committee concerning the reasons of A- 320 liner crash. "It is yet unclear what had become a reason of irregular actions of the crew, since A-320 flight simulation in Toulouse has shown that the liner flight was stable till the last 17 seconds. And suddenly the crew actions become irregular for 17 seconds before the liner fall. Possibly, the reason of this was the state of health of pilots, which became worth under extreme conditions or a nervous state, the crew was driven to by the flying controller or, nevertheless, losses of space position, about which the IAC conclusion says", Movsissian was puzzled. He added that decoding of A-320 audio flight recorder has shown that the crew was extremely displeased and nervous with the flying controller actions. He deviated from the direct answer to the question if the CDCAA agrees with the IAC conclusion, according to which the responsibility for the air crash lays on the crew, having only stated that the information contained in the IAC conclusion, meets the information of A- 320 air-borne recorders. Concerning the IAC provision saying that the captain lost spatial orientation, Movsissian said that A-320 has special equipment that clearly tells the pilot where he is. So, the captain could hardly lose his spatial orientation. Movsissian said that during a phone talk Thursday he told IAC Chairwoman Tatiana Anodina about his doubts. Anodina noted that the actions of the second pilot were quite adequate and correct.
Concerning Armavia's displeasure with the IAC findings, Movsissian said that never before have the pilots of a suffering air company been allowed to take part in a crash investigation. Armavia enjoyed exception. During a Thursday meeting the CDCAA proposed Armenian pilots to give their arguments and if they are convincing the CDCAA will support them as the IAC findings are yet preliminary and can be changed. The findings have been sent to all concerned parties so they can make their remarks within 60 days. For example, the CDCAA is going to propose including a provision about deficiencies in the air controller's actions and improper weather conditions. Movsissian also spoke with Anodina about the human factor. Anodina said that the IAC has no authority to decide who is guilty for the crash. This is the competence of the investigators. Besides, the IAC's position does not reflect the official position of Russia. The IAC could refuse to investigate the crash from the very beginning, but the Armenian side was interested in the investigation as it has no necessary equipment for own one. Movsissian said that there could be no political deal as there were 12 Armenian experts in the IAC who would never agree to such a deal.
