It seems pilot error, if you post the recording. CT ask him about his high altitude and all happen while losing the altitude ..

Likewise thus was the first ever PIA crash when CEO himself appeared in a press conference and promised an enquiry. Also the aviation minister gave a 3 months timeline for the report.

Obviously whatever we write here are just assumptions.
But for now pilot error seems to be the best explanation.
That was recovered yesterday, and the flight data recorder.

Yup you are right..
Sorry, the vlo speed is actually 250 kts (Max speed at which gear can be extended). 240 kts is the gear retraction vlo.
So, in the haste of the situation in trying to decend rapidly and also slow down, maybe the pilot put the gear down earlier than usual at over 250 knots but the safety system had overridden the command. So despite the lever being down, the gear didn't extend and so the Landing gear alarm was sounding as per in the ATC communications. And so for some reason the pilot believed gear was down but it wasn't.
Pure speculation on my part but possible!

The first bounce was with hard touch down.. in between the second bounce + skid which was with both engines, the pilot retracted the landing gear and full throttle thinking the bounce and momentum will let it fly.. Big Mistake it didn't had enough thrust and the plane skid the runway for short time with both engines before finally gaining altitude..... thats what i believe.
The pilot should have full throttled, once at safe altitute then should have retracted the landing gear...
Notice the landing gear was fully deployed when the plane crashed that means no damage to it....
Thats my take.. Wallahu Alam..
Certainty a possibility. Would be interesting to see any CCTV footage from the Tower. That's if they release it!
Looks like approach was too fast and TOGA error

Hi,
Calm my ---- pilot had no clue the catastrophe the plane had faced---.
Looks like the Pilot was FASTING---he might have had a low sugar condition---.
This here is a 9000 foot runway---pilot tries to land at 4500 foot marker whereas the total runway length is 9000 ft---that is the first place where the body of the aircraft touches the ground---.
A pilot in a normal condition would not do that---. Frigging pakistani Co-Pilots act as if they are the personal slaves of the Captain---never bothers to question the authority of the Captain evem knowing the captain is suicidal---typical Yessir pakistani mentality---.
That is why I hate when someone calls me SIR---.
Same thing happened with the Air Blue aircraft---the co pilot kept saying sir sir sir---and allowed the captain to smash the aircraft into the islamabad mountainside---.

The wheels down once the engines shutoff was a death sentence to the aircraft---.
