PIA Air Crash| Pk-8303 Air Crash| Muhammad Wasim

Описание: Pakistan International Airlines Flight 8303 was a scheduled domestic flight from Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore to Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, Pakistan. On 22 May 2020, the Airbus A320 crashed into Model Colony, a densely populated residential area of Karachi only a few kilometres (miles) from the runway, while on a second approach after a failed landing with landing gear not deployed. Of the 91 passengers and 8 crew on board the aircraft, 97 were killed, and two passengers survived with injuries. Eight people on the ground were also injured in the accident, one of whom later succumbed to her injuries.

The crash was captured on video by a CCTV camera of a nearby building, which shows the aircraft just before crashing into the neighborhood. The aircraft initially made an aborted landing attempt, apparently with the landing gear not deployed. One of the pilots subsequently radioed air traffic control (ATC) reporting landing gear issues and the failure of both engines.

The investigation into the crash is ongoing, but it is believed that the most likely cause was a combination of factors, including pilot error, technical problems, and poor weather conditions. The pilots are believed to have made a number of errors, including failing to deploy the landing gear before landing, and then attempting to go around and land again, which caused further damage to the aircraft. The aircraft was also experiencing technical problems, including a faulty landing gear indicator, which may have contributed to the crash. The weather conditions were also poor, with low visibility and strong winds, which would have made it difficult for the pilots to land the aircraft safely.

The crash of PIA Flight 8303 was a tragedy that claimed the lives of 97 people. The investigation into the crash is ongoing, and it is hoped that the findings will help to prevent similar accidents from happening in the future.

Here are some of the key findings of the interim report into the crash:

The pilots failed to deploy the landing gear before landing.
The aircraft experienced technical problems, including a faulty landing gear indicator.
The weather conditions were poor, with low visibility and strong winds.
The pilots made a number of errors, including attempting to go around and land again.
The final report into the crash is expected to be released in 2023.
