PIA plane crash near Model Colony Karachi with 93+ on board

[Hulk]

It is reported that the pilot of the aircraft Capt Sajjad Gull was asked to make a low pass in front of ATC to check his gears. In the process of going around the aircraft has crashed.

Heard his calm call to ATC just before the Crash. Very much in control. RIP. Sad news.

Majority of PIA planse pass expiry date long time ago. Plane engine been checked 3 time before departure. Checking engine 3 time is unusual, not normal practice.
Sadly, these people came to Karachi to celebrate eid after months of lockdown ....what a pain for waiting families.

sir you are worng about your both claims

aircrafts checkup is must before flight be it any airlines or air force its not unusual
pai fleet is not majority passed life span
they use three type of aircrafts with age 14-13-10 its just fine mid age fleet
average fleet age is today 13.1 years

Sir ji manufacturing date goes back to around 1984 and introduce in market in 1987. It was best plane of that time. But this plane been stopped and check its engine 3 times. Stopping 3 time is not usual.

No they have not. Please don't spread misinformation, at this time at least.

What are you talking about? The aircraft that crashed first flew in Aug, 2004. It is one of the best in its class today.

Also correct me if I'm wrong bird strike can lead to engine fire but complete shutdown of the engine is unlikely, unless manually powered off

Bird strike mostly caused engine flame out without fire, however it can also cause fire. What is meant by Flame out is engine is producing any power. The aircraft on decent and at landing is normally on idle which indicates that as soon as there is bird strike the engine switches off.

Tragic. Landing gear problems, engine problems with a miscalculated decision to burn too much fuel. Missed approach followed by Go-around and after that it was just tragic. As someone who works on A320s, this saddens me a lot.

Sir,
It is still not clear which came first Landing gear extension or engine failure. We can only speculate that the pilots did not get the three greens on the first attempt hence they executed a go around. The last audio that has been aired on various news channels only gives out a call stating out of 3500 for 3000 feet 5 miles established on ILS 25L. The ATC replied with a new heading which is corrected by the pilot that they are established on the ILS at which ATC asked they attempting a belly landing. within seconds of that trimer adjustment and a call from atc you have decended to 2000ft now maintain 2000. Now a MayDay is issued with we have lost engines. It is still not clear if both engines were lost at that time together or they had lost one earlier and lost the remaining one.

Your comment regarding miss calculation of fuel could be a valid reason for a duel engine flameout.

Here is a cctv video of the aircraft at the very last stage of its flight, it can be seen that the nose of the aircraft has pitched up. The only reason that comes to my mind is the pilot is desperately trying to convert access speed into height so that he can continue to fly a few more 400-500 meters to the runway. We can clearly see the aircraft is in a clean configuration i.e No Flaps and No Landing gear extended. In this configuration approach speeds are far higher and also the stall speed is high.

Then why did video show plane's landing gear was down in correct position?

Also, how could plane run out of fuel if this was only second landing attempt?

People aren’t able to grasp service lifecycles of airplanes because in their mind they compare it to other consumer vehicles.
