This A320 (c/n 547, first flight June 28, 1995, initial delivery to Ansett Australia as VH-HYO), named after Mesrop Mashtots, operating Armavia Flight 967 crashed into the Black Sea en route from Yerevan to Sochi, a resort town in Russia. The fatal crash was a CFIT accident, killing all 105 passengers and 8 crew on board. The aircraft was completely destroyed by impact with the water. The crash was caused by inadequate control inputs of the Captain following a go-around after the first attempted approach. Contributing factors to the accident were the lack of necessary monitoring of the aircraft descent parameters by the First Officer, and the improper reaction of the crew to the subsequent GPWS warning. Poor visibility and weather contributed to the crash as well.
