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.
The final report of the Intergovernmental Aviation Commission said that ineffective actions of crewmembers resulted in the fatal air crush. According to the conclusion of experts no failures in engines or board systems were registered, the plane reacted to autopilot's instructions and the crew's operations and there was enough fuel in the plane for successful completion of the flight. "The airbus crushed into the water during a dirigible flight while trying to carry out a maneuver for gaining height after ending the first attempt to land in the Sochi airport in bad weather conditions that were worse of necessary minimum norms for line 06," the report of the Intergovernmental Aviation Commission said.
