A preliminary report on the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plane crash in which 97 people died, has raised serious doubts about the pilot handling of the aircraft and that prevented the crew in the cabin to inform air traffic controllers about the problems.
Pakistani investigators are trying to figure out if the drop of the national flag carrier’s flight PK-8303 is attributable to pilot error or a technical failure, with new tracks, raising fresh questions about the circumstances of the incident, Geo News reported.
According to the report, prepared by the country of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the Airbus a-320 of the engine had scraped the track three times in the pilot for the first attempt of the earth, causing friction, and sparks is recorded by the experts.
After the third impact, the pilot took the plane in the air again, that the officials are being very weird, because the crew in the cockpit did not inform Air Traffic Control (ATC), at the Jinnah International Airport of any problem with the landing gear, The News International, cited CAA sources, as saying.
From automated emergency systems within the aircraft to go to in case of any emergency, and the noise of the alarms and warnings are impossible to ignore, there was no indication that the pilot of the ATC that something was wrong, he said.
When the aircraft scraped the ground in the first failed attempt of landing, the engine oil tank and the fuel pump may have been damaged and began to leak, preventing the pilot to achieve the necessary thrust and speed to elevate the aircraft to safety, the report said.
The pilot took a decision “on your own” to undertake a “go-around” after they have failed to earth the first time. It was only during the turn that the ATC was informed that the landing gear was not deploying, he said.
“The pilot was directed by the air traffic controller to take the aircraft to 3,000 feet, but managed just 1,800. When the cabin was reminded to go by the 3,000-foot level, the first officer said, “we’re trying,'” says the report.
Experts said the failure to achieve the targeted height indicates that the engines were not responding. The aircraft, from then on, bowed, and suddenly fell.
“The plane came down too fast, almost sunk,” sources familiar with the report said.
The researchers were trying to establish why the pilots did not once informed by ATC of any emergency, malfunction, engine failure or fire, despite the visible problems of the aircraft is facing, said the report, adding that it is rare to have so many technical problems at the same time.
The ATC of the conduct also is being investigated.
The report adds that at this time, there are more questions than answers with the most serious of why and how the alarm systems in the interior of the cockpit failed to warn pilots of an impending emergency.
PIA executive director Arshad Malik has said that the black box of the plane has been delivered to the research team.
The team, headed by Air Commodore Muhammad Usman Ghani, President of the Aircraft Accident and Investigation Board, is expected to present a full report in about three months.
According to the PIA’s engineering and maintenance department, the last check of the airplane was conducted on the 21st of March this year and had flown in from Muscat to Lahore, a day before the crash.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government of Pakistan had allowed the limited domestic flight operations of five of the major airports — Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta, 16 May.
After the airplane tragedy, the PIA has called you out of your market of operation.
