I worked tremendously hard on this video. However, some animations might not be 100% accurate as the accident occurred just four days ago, and there is not much data available. As soon as more information is released, I’ll make a new and more accurate video. Also, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family of those who have lost their loved one onboard PIA Flight 8303. 😢
EDIT: Here’s an updated video with better information: th-cam.com/video/zO5rXxJRmf4/w-d-xo.html
Nice video and rip 97 people
It's fine man take your time and gather research, we want accuracy not speed.
My friends father was on this flight, may his soul rest in peace....
@@furqanqureshi1811 damn bro, RIP...
You did great. Thanks much for your hard work and dedication, it’s sincerely appreciated. Keep up the fabulous work. The Flight Channel is one of my favorites of a short list. Condolences and thoughts to all involved.
I am a young flyer and during one of my flights From Hyderabad to Delhi in India, the weather was harsh and pilot took 3 go arounds to land the plan and everyone was cheering for the successful landing but no one was disappointed by the delay. There is no shame in failed landing, life before anything else.
As an experienced flyer, I think you flew in the months of July or June , the weather around IGI airport stays that way most of the time. They usually round above the air till ATC gives clearance
@@thanos8948 yeah, Delhi landing is quite freakish during stormy seasons but more than that is south india's turbulence during rains and heavy winds
@@vipulkaushal1597 oh I remember the turbulence I experienced in Bangalore to Jaipur flight. I looked at my dad and our eyes said “that’s it”. Everyone started praying and a complete silence took over. I could feel the plane going down so fast. But after some minutes, the captain announced that the situation is under control. I almost cried when we landed safely. Mad respect for the pilots who keep calm and manage the situation under so much stress.
So true. Respect
Delhi rocks!
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how much effort this guy puts into his videos it’s amazing thanks m8
Average Gamer - video, fine, "manna for the masses", technical dialog is much more informative.
Yeah far better than overdramatized air crash investigation.
... except for 0:40 ... May 22TH ???
the creator added speculation as fact and ruined it. "gear didn't go down" - provide document of this. "they decided to do a belly landing" - provide documentation of this. thumbs down
He chooses to do it and gets paid for it. What’s there to appreciate
The pilot's attitude was higher than the plane's altitude.
Well depicted...
😁😁khud margaye.
Aur sathiyom ko bhi maardiye.
How Sad due to few sick ppl
Absolutely..Just like everything else in Pakistan, most of the pilots are fake, as confessed by their Civil Aviation minister in Parliament..Many have fake licenses, and others have bribed their way to the license, without fulfilling the eligibility criteria...Pilots are hired based on their political connections - not on skills and performance. Europeans were right to ban all Pakistan pilots, as you never know if he's an auto rickshaw driver converted overnight to be a pilot

They make me feel better about it. All the faults are identified and they are added into training or fixed with innovation. Pilot error is really rare it seems as well.
Addictive.
Yup same here :p :)
That there were two survivors among the passengers, and no deaths on the ground is an absolute miracle
It is difficult to believe that there were no deaths on the ground.
Weird miracle. 97 still died.
i would abstain from calling a crash where 97 people died a miracle, id rather say that those 2 survivors beat the odds against them
jjaus It crashed into a building though IN AN inhabited residential zone and nobody on the ground died and the fact that the 2 who did survive werent in critical condition (1) might have been is a miracle
@@lladoandy
I rather think Laurence Haguewood is saying that the fact that no-one ON THE GROUND lost their lives IS a miracle....in such a densely populated area:
I would have expected fatalities.... many, if not more than those aboard the aircraft.... That. THAT...is the miracle to which Laurence refers. OK?
I lost my friends on this flight. Was greatly shocked when saw this news on tv channel. May Allah bless all those who left us with highest ranks in Jannah and may Allah give Patience to the bereaved families.
Sorry for your loss.
May they receive jannat

Ameen
there is no jannah for idiot pilot like this though
I am from Pakistan 🇵🇰 and the pilot was over confident, there seems no technical glitch in this scenario it happened when he failed to perform belly landing while not informing ATC of his actions. May the people who lost their lives rest in peace

As an active A330 captain and having flown the A320 for more than 7 years allow me to make following remarks:
1. During the first approach the aircraft was obviously quite high (possibly also fast) and the gear seems to have been forgotten up apparently as a result of focusing too much on making the landing and avoiding a go around (which could only be just a little embarrassing and nothing more). Approaching high (and fast) can happen in everyday operation as a result of accepting shortcuts by ATC or just simply mismanaging the approach. The safest course of action for that is to cancel the approach and request new vectoring and not force the approach and landing.
2. No pilot makes a belly landing without first completing the relevant checklists and informing the tower. The warnings were for some reason ignored (continuous repetitive chime and most probably also the “TOO LOW GEAR” which by the way cannot be cancelled unless the gear is lowered or a go around performed).
3. After watching a video of a runway inspection it appears that the aircraft touched down with its engines 3 times before going around.
4. As a result of the engines scraping the runway, it seems they got damaged and failed after a while leading to a dual engine loss as also evidenced by the extension of the RAT (Ram Air Turbine) which also comes out automatically if the two engine driven generators are lost.
5. On the second approach the landing gear was down as seen in some videos (so no malfunction) and the aircraft crashed with a very high pitch up attitude which implies it was very near a stall (roughly around 100 knots) obviously in an attempt to delay the crash as much as possible. It is very possible that the gear was lowered quite early after the go around and before the engine failure(s). This explains why the aircraft struggled to climb as with only one engine operating (assuming one failed first) and the gear down the aircraft climb performance is seriously affected. Finally, had the gear remained up, the aircraft might have made it to a more open space near the airport if not to the runway. The gliding performance with gear up is around 3NM/1000ft compared to gear down which is around 2NM/1000ft (meaning that for every loss of 1000ft of altitude the aircraft travels 3 and 2 nautical miles respectively-/1NM=1852 meters).
All this is of course hypothetical and we have to wait for the official accident report to find out what really happened.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing this. Another video on TH-cam by someone called blancolirio shows the graphs of an altitude of 10,000 feet four minutes prior to landing, and a descent rate that briefly reaches 7000 feet per minute at an altitude of 2000 feet!! The approach showed speeds of 220-255 knots, with a speed of 210 knots at the runway threshold. Could the workload and stress associated with this type of wild ride explain him disregarding the chime and not processing the verbal gear warning? It's the only thing I could think of.
Great analysis, seems true, given the circumstances
I have been asking around about this very thing. The moment I saw the video I told my wife "That plane was stalling", then as the news of the engine hits came out, I looked at it again and I wondered what the gear was doing down during a glide.
I don't know if keeping the gear up would have given them the 1300 meters of glide necessary, also they were far from the apex of the racetrack (looked a bit earlier than the final turn) but at that point, even sliding across the runaways would have been better than coming down, nose up, in a populated area. The pilot sounded calm and in control, but I suspect the cockpit was blaring alarms and they weren't thinking straight.
Bizarre.
Plausible explanation of the sequence of events. Indicates terrible lack of judgement on the part of the crew.
Hmm, good thinking, but it could be possible that the a320 was flying too fast for the gears to extend, maybe it has a system preventing it from being extended at high speeds due to the risk of the gears being ripped off by the wind
Well that captain ignored and violated practically every rule in the book. Unbelievable.
true
MrPLC999 they have such a lax safety record they are not permitted to fly in American airspace
@@robertstalnaker5728 ALSO KNOW AS DOUCHE BAG, SOCIOPATH PILOTS THAT WOULD RATHER KILL ALL ONBOARD, INSTEAD OF ASKING FOR HELP. RIP.
@@robertstalnaker5728
As of April, they have permission to operate direct flights into the USA. This appears to be less about aeronautical safety and more to do with terrorist threats. Just FYI.
Please please please, do NOT make fun of the pilot, or co-pilot as the struggled very hard to save the lives onboard. We do not know what happened until the real reason is released.
"No final word on what caused the crash?" How about "stupidity?" It's a word never used in aviation crash reports but is entirely fitting in many cases. Air France 447 would fully qualify for its use...and many others.
AF447 was more complex, and there were some valuable lessons to be learnt from that accident. The FAA actually changed the way they teach stall recovery and updated the airman certification standards as a result of that accident. This one, on the other hand, was caused by a series of inexplicably dumb decisions, and when the final report comes out, I doubt there will be any causal factors that could not have been prevented by knowledge that is already commonly available to everyone. Simply put, the pilots were just stupid as f... A total waste, so unnecessary.
@@oliverracz2686 Nah ... AF 447 was stupidity. Without a doubt the frozen pitot tubes started the chain of events, but that wasn't the proximate cause.
@@zoso73 Let's say "incompetence" is a better word to use for the Air France accident. This PIA one was pure stupidity.
But I've had this stick back the whole time!

I can't believe any pilot would attempt a go around after striking the ground on a belly landing.
@TR STAR why didn’t he inform the control tower that the landing gear would not engage? 😢
@@priscamolotsi He didn't realize that the landing gear were not down unitl it scraped (It happened because he didn' follow the protcols) and later most probably he was afraid of the repercussion.
@@deepakthirdreich but how can two pilots not know that gear is down? Lights, audible warnings are there. Just a dumbass pilot I guess.
@@frankie3591 They were not following protocols and were using non standard methods to land in the first attempt which in turn would have caused a lot of error warnings and they would have missed the Landing Gear warning . BTW where are you from ?
@@deepakthirdreich Agreed. I don't know much about flying but let's take my car. If I start to drive my car without seat belt, the warning light flashes and the audible bell will kill me before an accident can. Now don't planes have that? Beep beep beep....Terrain Too low? If you don't have wheels down? Canadian.
Not once did the pilot or co pilot announce a Mayday while attempting a landing without landing gear. This is absolutely stunning. God bless the perished.
Because they didn’t realise it i guess? He said he was comfortable before first approach
@@eishalarshad7216 what abt the warning, its heard in the recordinf
@@munabissi I think the sounds are made for the video. At least I cannot hear anything from the recordings.
@@bowlchamps37 The sounds were not for this video, they on every recording I have heard or seen, clearly ding ding ding continuous, and every knowledgable commentator states it was the gear warning.
@clivewsm You are correct, the gear disagree warning can be heard in the ATC audio. It’s a very distinguished noise that can it be canceled by the pilot like other audio cues. This audio message would have been active followed by the “too low, gear warning” once the got in close proximity to the ground. The pilots had to be very aware of their situation which is why it’s inconceivable that they didn’t advise ATC.
This plane crashed on my Birthday. I was having fun while other people were crying and at some point, dying.. or dead.
i remember my parents heavily blaming the pilots when this was on the news so i watched this to reconfirm and see what rlly happened
Your parents were right. I would’ve cried my eyes out if I was on that plane and it went back up in the air after scrapping the ground. That pilot is the greatest idiot to ever fly a plane
You don’t “attempt” a belly landing. And you certainly don’t do one without letting ATC know.
PILOT ERROR over confident PUSS
No , a belly landing should be prepared a lot.. also with foam on runway and fire equipment st.by, involving ATC.
They didn‘t attempt a belly landing. They weren‘t aware that the gear hadn‘t extended, because they were so focused on somehow fixing the messed up approach. Gear probably didn‘t extend due to overspeed from the steep dive... ATC should not have cleared them to land, when they were too high (and he knew it). And they themselve should have taken the go around vectors they were offered by ATC. As always a fatal chain of human errors, hybris, over self-esteem, bad cockpit communication, power hierarchy (why didn‘t the pilot monitoring call for a go around?) has ultimately led to this totally unnecessary loss of lives.
@@atholmackie668 yes you are right
@@atholmackie668 You can point out pilot error without berating the dead.
This was pure criminal negligence on the part of the pilots-the captain especially. This was an avoidable tragedy.

captain was discussing covid 19 during flight. i wish he is burning in hellfire
Plane: Yo the landing gear isn’t down!
Pilots: Yall hear sum?
It all started when the pilot contacted the ATC in Lahore during take off and asked a totally irrelevant question
The pilots really messed this one up.
amazing what idiots are flying around there. If you go for a belly landing you only have one try.
@@Suiramlp They didn't go for a belly landing. This video is making all kinds of assumptions.
I think the pilots forgot to put the gear down, they realized it only after the engine scraping.
The plane also has a lot of problems...+ pilots bad trained result on disaster
@@suserman7775 I mean either way, it looks like pilot error to me
The A320 has a sensor letting pilots know that they are too low without gear. That alarm didn’t sound. Something was amiss with the plane as well.
note-to-self : dont go-around after you banged your engines on the runway ...
In this case there was no choice. They were more than the half way mark. It all goes to explain, how important decent planning is. One you leave cruise altitude, constant check of altitude and airspeed is necessary and immediate corrections need to be made. We need to wait till the official report comes out. It would be heartless to blame the pilots before that.
Krish Mohan exactly they would of over ran the runway
@@flightsimulatoraddict9102 they were already on the ground ... and i'd argue that more people could've survived
@@jamc666 Hindsight is 2020. Maybe the pilots thought they had a better chance of landing on the 2nd attempt.
Why to banged engines ,u can have a smooth belly landing if u r approching at mannered speed and actual height for approach that the pilot failed to do so .
It wasn’t a belly landing from the pilots perspective. They just saw the landing gear lever was down, but somehow these drunk pilots kept ignoring all the alarms going off. They even ignored ATC when told to turn left heading for being too high and they were travelling too fast, hence why the landing gear didn’t deploy. A lot of comments here from people saying why they didn’t tell ATC they were coming in for a belly landing, but that was never their attention. They assumed the gears were down. ATC wouldn’t allow a plane to land on belly without confirming their checklist and getting emergency vehicles on standby and pouring foam on the runway for belling landing. These pilots were absolutely 100% at fault and they ignored all alarms
Wow, exactly my conclusions. Only don't think pilots were drunk. They didn't fly in a while due to Covid lockdown, and staying at home means more sex than they can handle in their age.
No that pilot was tired due to consecutive flights. Pakistanis never drink like indians. And it was a fault in plane which confused and tensed him. So never do asumptions like that. No one will kill his own life in such cases.
@@lailakhan6104 This was their first flight of the day after a lengthy lockdown. Besides ignoring altitude, they failed to see if 3 landing gear down and locked lights were on and low terrain warnings. Tried to cover up by going airborne but crashed instead.
@@lailakhan6104 "Pakistanis never drink like Indians"? What a loser bringing Indians into this. Weirdo.

Not surprised at all
This pilot must have been one of them. Because if he knew what he was doing he would have alerted air traffic control that the landing gear was not lowering.
They only learn how to take off.
@@larrypowers2515 Even that is a miracle.
We even as Pakistanis avoid travelling on PIA
Aww... I cannot control my tears... God save their souls, their family and loved ones.. Sending love and prayes from Mizoram India.
Yeah. Blame the pilots.
❇
Damn those pilots
You forgot to include that during their second approach, they managed to drop the gear.
yup was going to say forgot to show gear down in second approach
Again a mistake. Once engines are lost, efforts should be to reduce the drag and reach the runway and deploy the landing gear at the last moment only as far as I can assume.....🙏🙏
Oh wait so they did get the landing gear out for their 2nd attempt, when they ultimately crashed?
Yes..you are right
There was NOTHING wrong with the landing gear, on the decent and before landing approach the jet was going to FAST, at the speed they were going the gear will NOT deploy, this is a case of two complete dumb asses at the controls of an airliner.
Occasionally those landing computers sum up the pilot precisely
Rest in peace all those who lost their lives. Based on the information in this video, this is pilot error. For a start the approach was not stable, they should have discontinued the approach and asked for more track miles to lose altitude. Second, after the landing gear failed to extend they had a choice of either discontinuing the approach/going around to hold so they could figure out why that happened or using the manual gear extension - there was absolutely no need to attempt a belly landing at that stage. Once the belly landing attempt had floated outside of the touchdown zone, they should have executed a balked landing. Seems like poor decision making and failure management all the way down which unfortunately cost them and most of their passengers their lives.
No pilot would knowingly make a "belly landing" without declaring an emergency (PAN or Mayday) notifying the airport and requesting emergency crews to be available. I have been on an aircraft that had gear problems and the flybys, the cycling of landing gear, the copilot visiting the cabin to look thru to see the gear....all takes time...and we didn't just "go for it". This "initial descent and landing" is problematic on many levels. Of note is that the airspeed should be assessed at gear down -- the A320 will not allow the gear to come down at speeds above a certain level to keep the gear and panels from being ripped off... the issue is not what happened on the go-around, its what happened leading up to the decision or lack of a decision to put the plane down on the engines...
True that ))
Were the pilots fasting for Ramadan?
Yeah, it's quote obvious they forgot to put the gear down, freaked out when they realised and went for a go around.
Yeah these pilots were really bad at following protocols, I think the gear may have not come down because of their ignorance of their incorrect glideslope leading to a much steeper decent which might have stressed the automation of the A320. I really think it might’ve been a training problem. I can bet my money that when the investigation is done, the main cause will be pilot error
@Apjal Guruji No martyrs, If they were really out of their capabilities because fasting then they were responsibles for those deaths.
Pilot error. Period. Why wouldn't they have let the flight tower know they had no landing gear?
Atc and pilot conversation doesn't show even once that the pilot tried telling the tower about the landing gear. If not 'mayday' I believe atleast 'pan pan pan' declaration was warranted here. The pilot was like "Meh, no landing gear, no big deal. I got this". I'm baffled!
Please please please, do NOT make fun of the pilot, or co-pilot as the struggled very hard to save the lives onboard.
Jolly apparently you do not realize pilot made awful mistakes which led to the death of a lot of people. And the guys weren’t making fun of the pilots you dum dum.
@@Jolly69 their negligent and borderline criminal actions killed those people no matter how hard they tried to overcome their blatantly poor piloting.
@@Jolly69 why do you keep saying this over and over in different threads??? Unless your deaf and cant read closed captions, it is painfully clear that these 2 idiots did not even mention not having a fucking landing gear to anyone!!! So yes, they are going to get flamed and criticized and rightly so...
May 22th! I like that! Serious note, major props to you and the work and time you must spend on these videos. Thank you, sincerely.
Most crashes to my knowledge are preventable and I get the feeling this would have come back to the pilots for not letting ATC know they had an issue with the landing gear, not declaring an emergency and coming in a lot lower and slower first time around when engines were still fine.
And after a failed belly landing and 2 engine strikes, had ATC been properly informed, they would probably have known the risks of a go around after striking both engines...
Well, this is one bizarre accident. I can't even begin to imagine why a pilot would try a TOGA after an airframe strike on the runway...apparently he thought it could be done, but the whole thing was a clusterf***. Sad.
Can't contact the tower, have to tell allah how great he is.
What was TOGA? I forgot
Edit: I remembered, it's a autopilot mode that can be set to abort takeoff, or go around
That pilot was drunk or something?
He must have been very fast from the overly steep descent and felt he had to TOGA after needlessly striking the engines. I hate to say it, but the whole flight seems dumb and very unprofessional. This video is very well done.
Yannis L well it’s really Take-Off Go Around power It’s has an associated AP mode, but TOGA is a power setting.
Absolutely shocking actions by the flight crew
Yeah
Eh well just do a belly landing. *slams both engines into the ground* maybe well try to go around now
I would never fly with this company. Were the realy pilots? No before landing checklist? Landing without gear down and hit the brakes? This is realy heavy shit
@@stevenlingle22 The worst part was the idiot trying to do the landing without reporting it to the controller. Then for the first officer to sit by and not say anything is just unbelievable. They also
Sounded so calm when coming in to land with no gear. This is truly terrifying!

Absolutely breathtaking and brilliant work ……the cockpit animations synced with the actual cockpit audio is amazing to say the least. Many thanks for your efforts and a perfect presentation. Look forward to many more from you .
This whole incident teaches a lesson that "Over Confidence is harmful"
RIP to all the people that perished :'( .
two survivors from the plane
What hypocrisy. On one hand saying "Oh we're so sorry and we're grieving", on the other hand supporting a guy who advertises this under #aviationmemes on Instagram. On top the blame put on pilots and controllers is extremely disrespectful when there's no preliminary report ready. Especially since the dead pilots don't even have a chance to defend themselves. It's disgusting.

@@BzBlade Yes and I'm grateful for that but we shoudn't forget all those that died.
I really can't imagine after scrapping the belly of the airplane twice that you initiate a go around. At that point the pilot has no idea what type of structural damage has incurred yet initiates a climb out.
This pilot has the intelligence to maybe work as a chai wala bringing tea to people. Or cleaning homes as a maid (or "knohkar").

I agree
yes. maybe the pilot thought so too. But why did he not pursue it?
Latest info says gear was deployed 10 miles out, then retracted five miles out!
Pilots busy chatting about pandemic, ignored alarms, and landed a perfectly good airplane with the gear retracted.
Sad.
But there a plenty of warnings in cabin about gears. It's really hard to understand how did they fuck didnt listen.
It would be extremely difficult to ignore those alarms. No sense in worrying about COVID19 if you are not going to be alive to contract it.
Latest Info by an unknown idiot 😡
@@umairahmad3668 There is a preliminary report, so it's your comment that is inappropriate. Just google PIA preliminary report, and you'll find the details.
The report also says, that they activated the thrust reversers on their first landing attempt.
Thus it was a horrible wrong decision to initiate a goaround afterwards...
What is known from this prliminary report the crew was not using correct callouts, not regarding what they were doing in the cockpit and at least making horribly wrong decisions...
Just finished your video & I’m still stunned that in this situation, the pilot chose to maintain higher altitudes-than atc requested.......utterly unacceptable, and one of several fateful decisions & actions the crew made. Some clearly resulted in damage to the aircraft; the remaining causing the subsequent crash & 97 fatalities.
(This is of course, simply my opinion, based on what’s described as “limited info”, but it seems pretty clear to me, w/45 years of aeronautical accident & safety study & experience).
Thank you for another excellent rendition, and well-produced video!
I always look forward to your opinions.
✈️
A large applause for your efforts to bring this video.
When pilot went for belly landing in 1st attempts then how could he go for a go around after damaging the engines after touching it to the ground?😶 Earlier it was a technical fault with the plane but pilot's decision for goaround killed them all. Its a pilot fault & i mean its common sense that you have got only 1 attempt in belly landing bcz your engines will get crashed obviously.
RIP to the lives lost
The video is incorrect, they weren't attempting a belly landing the first time, the preliminary report has confirmed this. They didn't know the gear wasn't down.
@@DoubleMonoLR true. No technical issue. Which is even more sad!
MrMonotone it is impossible that they didn’t know the gear wasn’t down, there are multiple warnings for gear not down which was ignored. And the fact that ATC at Karachi didn’t even know they were attempting a belly landing is also just ridiculous, actually shocked by this. RIP to those poor people

@@Jstsumcodplayr bcz Pak and India are enemies so isn't it obvious that if something bad happens in Pakistan they will be happy but I know some real people exist in India and they will never be happy
I think you do an awesome job. I really enjoy your videos!
It happened near my home, about 1 km distance. There was a huge cloud of smoke, when we went there, plane crashed in a stray street. At the end of this street was a school. Luckily it was too late and students must be empty at this time. On Friday schools here usually goes off around 12 pm. It was last Friday of Ramzan and most of the people are at home at this day, luckily didn't cause much damage to residents.
People of karachi went to help the nearby residents right after the emergency response teams finishes the work, they supplied food immediately.
There was emergency alert at hospitals because of crashing in residential area, called almost all ambulances and fire brigade in the city.
Blast ki awaz ayi thi
my questions:
- why no mayday call?
- why no gravity extension?
- why go around, when the engines(!) had ground contact?
- why no holding pattern and analyse situation?
- why no visually check by Tower?
Rest in Peace all of you
There was a may day call
@@javiiaye call when it was about to crash
There is a theory that he was too fast too for gear and Airbus blocks it automatically.
This video is wrong... due to the wrong ils approach in the first attempt they had to a go around and the landing gear was retracted too soon so the engines scraped the Tarmac
Panic and fear probably
One of my mothers friend's close relatives passed away on this flight.
Please pray for them :'(

These are great productions. Thank you for entertaining us. 👏👏👏
Whey you're told by ATC that you're to high, twice, that's not a technical problem.. Pilot error. Tragically.
exactly
Yes it was pilot error the plane was too high at approach and too fast. They forgot to lower the gear.
Not rocket science is it..
@@naineshpatel3743 I think they pulled the switch by the gear didn't deploy. Technical error.
@@crand20033 It's believed they were travelling too fast for the gear to deploy when they selected, the gear lever was in the down position, but the gear was not actually down and locked. This possibly led to confusion for both of the flight crew, as there is not just the pilot in command, but also his second there to check things and ensure checklists are followed.
If the gear lever was cycled once speed was more acceptable, the gear would have dropped and deployed.
I don't understand how they could ignore the gear alarms, and flashing light indicator that would appear on both sides. The pilot also declared he was comfortable on approach which means all settings should be right for landing configuration including gear.
There is also a potential user-interface problem here with gear lever selectors that is however the same on just about every aircraft. A short glance will show the physical gear lever in the down position, but this is clearly NOT the same as the gear actually being down and locked. Ideally, this lever would return to the un-set position if unable to deploy as yet another indication that gear hasn't deployed.
According to what we know so far, these are incredibly incompetent pilots. They didn't inform ATC of ANYTHING until it was far too late, and didn't call mayday until AFTER attempting the belly landing! And forcing a belly landing without doing proper checklist procedures is beyond a rookie move...getting the aircraft down SAFELY is always the first priority...
it doesn't make sense at all looks like a convoluted suicide attempt to make it appear as an accident
I think the PIA is trying to put the blame on the dead they don't want to lose thier jobs.
@@YoutubSUCKZ can be arrogance too. In some countries pilots are chosen on connections and people who do not meet the minimum requirements are chosen
This is why I do not trust airlines that are not US based. Other countries have lax airline regulations. You don’t compromise on safety when it comes to flying. You don’t compromise of safety period.
@@YoutubSUCKZ the pilot was suffering from the Hero Complex. He thought he could easily crash land the plane and come out looking like a hero and therefore didn't tell ATC anything. He wanted to do it all by himself.
Fantastic work! Hats off to your hard work 👏 mate.

@DjPeely ok lol 😂
What airmanship! They trash both engines by scraping them along the runway, then attempt to use them for a go-around.
Exactly, he slammed those engines into the ground 3 times not twice....3 times!!! How he even got back in the air must be a new record.
90% sure they thought the gear was down
True, stupid pilots, absolutely stupid, why did they even get certified as pilots if they just scraped the engines did a go around and tell atc the engines are not working
@@visionist7 chime going off for gear not down....surely PIA do not hire deaf pilots

Rest in peace those all who fell victim of this carelessness.
Such a tragedy ,my cousin's husband was in that plane 😢 May all the souls RIP 😭 also I was waiting for you to make a video on this .
Sorry to hear about you loss, condolences from MI

Man, if this video is accurate, that is incompetence of the highest magnitude being played out in the cockpit.

Cockpit blunder.

Prayers for the people who were dead in this accident
There are at least three reasons of this crash that I can deduct after watching this video.
1- The pilot ignored the warnings from the ATC to lower the altitude.
2- The technical flaw in the landing gear.
3- Pilot's decision to do a go-around after the engines had scrapped the runway.
IMO the pilot should've gone ahead with the belly landing instead of attempting a go-around approach.
there is a turn style lever that you can deploy and rotate to help the landing gear deploy via gravity or cranking in case the primary ldg gear lever does not work
The most saddest thing is ......they were in the runway...... passenger's were happy ...and ofc excited....but their life changed when pilots decided to take another round......I wish wheels would have worked.....RIP everyone 😞
3 red lights and a screaming gear config warning WHILE calmly replying his landing clearance to ATC like it's just another day at the office....then proceeds with a belly landing when he had LOADS of time to inform ATC ..WOW .....everything about this flight was way off FROM START TO FINISH.
Not real - this is a simulation - and based on assumptions.
My point exactly... what really happened was that stupid pilot forgot to engage landing gear at first landing attempt because he was too busy descending from high altitude and high speed with very short distance remaining. When he realized that landing gear is not open at touchdown, he raised the plane again to go around and make second attempt but engines were already damaged at that point.
@@oksyar according to Blanco Oleareo that chiming thats going on when the pilot is talking to ATC is the landing gear warning chime, warninig the pilot that the landing gear isn't deployed. The pilot is having a calm radio transmission with ATC while all that chiming is going on in the cockpit, its not like the pilot forgot a simple step in the process.
Apjal Guruji so is that an excuse for killing innocent souls on board? Pilots and other essential workers should be exempt from the fasting rule while on duty that’s the only solution !
I'm assuming these two guys weren't the only Muslim pilots in the world flying that day. Everyone else managed to land safely. This was pure incompetence.
This is the most absurd, surreal accident I' ve ever seen so far, in all aspects. Crew performance, tower lack of attitude and all the awkward circumstances. Both, pilots and airline management must be deeply investigated (recruitment, formation, safety standarts, etc) and , if its the case, immediately prohibited from flying and responsables sent to jail. Now, an adjacent aspect:
Over the two last decades pilots turned into "flight system's operators" and real piloting skills are being lost more and more, year after year, as they are now formed "ab initio" by the airline's academies. They are no longer "Aviators". That's why we may encounter a 21 year old co-pilot, or even a captain of 25, because they have no previous experience in the air force of, at least, eight years facing challenging situations.
Comment updating- we now heard about pilot's fake licenses. That overpasses anything we could imagine, so my new comment is; NO COMMENTS!!!
Completely agree. Calls out Mayday seconds before death is imminent
All I can think of is the passengers fear while this nightmare was going on....
Can't expect professional behaviour from Pakistan
what mistake did tower guy do?
In case of belly landing, shouldn't there be firefighters in place for the inevitable fire that would ensue? The pilot seemed too relaxed; there was no mention to control tower that landing gears were not working, and Mayday! Mayday! was sounded off just almost immediately before the crash. I'm no pilot but what kind of pilot was that? By the way this video was presented, it seemed the passengers were not aware of any emergency situation. I don't know which was better or worse - passengers not panicking and then - Bam! - everybody's dead, without a prayer or last good-byes.
Horrible.Thank you Sir for another excellent reenactment..look forward to final report.Keep up the good work!Happy landings!
the reason the gear failed to deploy on the first landing attempt was because the A320 has built in sensors , which will not allow the gear to deploy if the speed is too fast.....this planes approach height was too high and its speed was much faster than its designated landing speed ...pilot was told to break off landing approach by ATC ( " left turn 180" / in the USA, ATC says " go around " ) but pilot reported back he was " comfortable " and continued to attempt the landing , damaging both engines .......very nicely done graphics.....

Captain " what's that dinging noise?"
Co-Pilot " what dinging noise?"
Its a sound of grim reaper knock they door
Sums it all up...correct!
Either the Co-Pilot was in shock from watching the Captain decide to attempt landing the plane at such a high speed & altitude, or he was petrified of how the Captain would react towards him, if he tried to stop the multiple mistakes the Captain was making.
No CRM at all!
@@kyliepechler i understand he was having a high to ignore the alarm but when the TOO LOW GEAR started to sound, he should have gotten the fuck out of his feels and revv it up back into holding position to plan the landing again.
Please please please, do NOT make fun of the pilot, or co-pilot as the struggled very hard to save the lives onboard.We do not know what happened until the real reason is released.
Your channel really is amazing with the cockpit warning sounds and gauges.
You are absolutely right these are wonderfully made videos with all respects... thank you flight channel.

Agree with u bro
It's a long running struggle, but there are plenty of cultures around the world that still cling to the "boss is god" idea. Heck even in the US and Europe we have a-hole autocratic Captains. However our First Officers are much, much more likely to take a vocal and active role in preventing dangerous behavior.

I won't lie, I had a little tear coming out at the end. It feels awful to know exactly how it happened.
Watch his videos: th-cam.com/users/blancoliriovideos
The pilots tried to lower the landing gear, but they were simply too fast.
If you are above a certain speed the plane does not allow the landing gear to be deployed - you can hear the warning sound in the ATC radio tapes.
The pilots just ignored the warnings the plane was giving out...
Exactly they were so so close 😭
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication 👍🙏❤️ I am watching your amazing channel all the time😍😍😍😍
This has got to be the most avoidable accident ever. Absolutely horrific.
So much pilot error sadly, all of these factors contributed to the incident. They likely could have successfully landed the aircraft on its belly had they stabilised the approach and communicated effectively/prepared.
Agreed. From what information we have, this reeks of pilot incompetence. With all the warnings going off in the cockpit, a sane crew would have aborted the landing attempt, notified ATC of a problem, anything within SOP. Instead they tried to force the gear down by smashing the plane onto the runway without any flame retardants.
@@PikalaxALT Yep. And they could of told ATC to prepare fire crew just in case. Thank god for this channel. It seems a lot of these airline disasters are due to criminal negligence and incompetence by the pilots.
@@PikalaxALT wow, you know thats what happened already? you better tell the investigators they are wasting their time then.
Karachi is surrounded by sea, they could have landed it in sea and wait for the rescue team
Exactly! I'm not a pilot, but even I know there is no way you're going to go from 7,000ft to tarmac on your belly and suffer no side-effects or damage.
This is the most disturbing act of WTF I've ever seen in my career
I don't know what was going in their heads
Career of what. Shut up.
You saying like your the boss
I don't give shit to die,that day
This is basically like;
ATC; " Could you follow this procedure."
Pilots; "Yeah yeah yeah. Don't worry we got this."
The uplifting music 0:10 with the plane scraping the ground gets me ;)
It's hard for me to believe they would belly land without informing emergency.
And it's hard for me to believe they'd do a go around after knowingly hitting the engines.
More likely they landed unknowingly with gear up , felt the impact not exactly knowing what was going on and then went around.
555Trout I also considered that eventuality. But how can you ignore all those warnings such as “too low gear” and stuff?
Their behavior made no sense at all. They knew gear was up due to the 3 red indicator lights and the constant beeping. And they didn't run checklist.
@@theflightchannel How do you know there were warnings? Though we know there should have been, do we know they worked? If there were warnings then nothing makes sense.
@@nickdaniels4385 They must've been really trying to salvage their poor approach and get there on time, that's the only thing I can think of that could've distracted them that much. I think even the ATC was confused that they wanted to go ahead with the approach given their speed and altitude. I can't believe experienced pilots like that could get that caught up to ignore those warnings but that seems to be what happened (if I remember right the captain had like 14,000 hours in that plane).
@@theflightchannel It's one of those situations where the only rational options are: they either intentionally chose to ignore the multiple warning indicators or they experienced a complete loss of situation awareness much earlier in the sequence of events than we might think. Nothing about their aeronautical decision making made any sense at all.

There must be many who never knew how close they came to disaster because of their cool, and skilled pilots. Kudos to them, RIP to the unfortunate souls on board whose pilots failed them.
The assumptions made in this video's captions do not match analysis from other sources - most likely they were too fast (diving to the runway) and the gear would not extend due to this. On the Airbus, you need to raise the gear lever and then lower it again when below the max speed.
It's possible they lowered the gear lever and considered that to be "gear down" on the checklist, and then proceeded to belly land unintentionally, ignoring the gear warning beeps for whatever reason (maybe they thought it was a warning for something else - like overspeed because they were chasing the glideslope?)
The skid marks on the runway also indicate that they floated for ages before touching down way past the usual touchdown point - another indication they were coming in way too fast. No way would they be coming in that fast intentionally with a gear failure, and without mentioning it to the tower. More likely they were just trying to get down, and figured they had enough stopping power with half of the runway behind them - and all that stress led them to completely miss the lack of "3 greens".
It's also inexplicable that they would go around if they knew they were landing gear-up - why panic and go around if you are expecting the engines to scrape the runway?
Agree.
I think you got it! It would explain a lot.
This is pretty much my theory too, except that they probably assumed the alarm was for decent rate, instead of overspeed. I see a LOT of landing videos where a perfectly good landing has a bunch of alarms that must be ignored by the crew. The airplane systems must in part be designed by LAWYERS. In other words, idiots.
This gear behaviour is what I was missing in all the previous descriptions. This makes total sense, as it turns a "everyone in the cockpit ignored a massive glaring/blaring issue and did a series of bonkers things without telling anyone" in to a "crew was rushing to get down and flubbed one single gear procedure like we've seen a bunch of times before" situation. Thanks.
They forgot to deploy it during the first approach.Pilot error caused this tragedy.The gear was operational as seen in some videos.
Heirachy in the cockpit. Co pilot too scared to speak up while observing appalling airmanship.......
Very possible, knowing Pakistani culture.
If the other commentator is correct, and the pilot simply *forgot* to lower the gear, then this may go down as the worst lost of situational awareness since at least AirAsia at SFO.
The co pilot would stand as an accomplice in the crime, as being speechless while watching his Captain's arrogance implicates him as much for the killing of 97 innocent lives as the captain himself.
Yes. To miss that annoying dinging by TWO persons doesn't make sense.
