Answer:
New Delhi: A preliminary report on the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plane crash has raised serious questions about the pilot's handling of the aircraft. According to a report by Geo News, Pakistani investigators are trying to ascertain whether the crash of flight PK-8303 is attributable to a pilot error or a technical glitch.
The Airbus A-320's engines had scraped the runway thrice on the pilot's first attempt to land, causing friction and sparks, PTI quoted the report prepared by the country's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
'Pilot made a decision on his own to undertake a go-around'
The report further states that after the third impact, the pilot took the aircraft off into the air again, which officials found very strange as the Air Traffic Control at the Jinnah International Airport was not informed of any problem with the landing gear.
“When the aircraft scraped the ground on the first failed attempt at landing, the engine's oil tank and fuel pump may have been damaged and started to leak, preventing the pilot from achieving the required thrust and speed to raise the aircraft to safety,” says the report.
Blaming the pilot for the go-around, the report says that he made the decision on his own after he failed to land the first time. It was only during the go-around time when the pilot informed the ATC that the landing gear was not deploying.
- The pilot made a decision "on his own" to undertake a "go-around" after he failed to land the first time
- The pilot was directed by the air traffic controller to take the aircraft to 3,000 feet, but he managed only 1,800
- The ATC's conduct is also being probed.
