The moment doomed Pakistan Airbus scraped along runway after pilots 'forgot' to put wheels down


The doomed Pakistan International Airbus A320 which crashed in May was seen on CCTV scraping along the runway at Karachi airport after its pilots 'forgot' to put its wheels down for landing. In findings revealed by aviation news site Flight Global, The Civil Aviation Authority of Pakistan detailed a mismanaged landing approach and a catalogue of failures by the plane's pilots. The airport's controllers then granted landing permission without apparently noticing that the landing gear was not down. After the aborted landing in which the plane's engines scraped along the runway, the A320's engines failed 'one by one'. The investigators did find that the plane's landing gear was in the lowered position when it crashed.
