armavia aircraft problem

Hi there,
First of all I just want to say i'm not a pilot, but I am really happy to have found a forum where I can actually talk to pilots! I think it's really amazing what you do..anyway...

I am an Armenian living in the UK, I was just watching the Armenian news here via satellite tv, and they were showing interviews with Armenian aviation specialists explaining how the event happened.

Basically they summised that they have written a letter to the relevant bodies (I'm sure you know better than me ) asking for the permissible distance between aircraft and A380 be increased , as this was the first recorded incident with the A380. From what I understand this is currently 330m, and thats exactly what the distance was between these aircraft...apparently.

Forgive me if my technical details are wrong, I have just translated as well as I could what I heard. I am just wondering, do you agree with this as pilots? It is interesting as Armavia have already had a problem with the Sochi Yerevan crash last year, I guess they are really trying to restore public faith in their safety record! Does any blame lie with Armavia here? They were saying on the news that the pilot did well to recover the situation ..but then they would say that,

Just wanted to hear your opinions.Regards
