The fact that PIA landed previous generations of jets wheels up is not really relevant to the warning systems on modern aircraft. I would be interested if anyone else typed on the A320 thinks forgetting the gear is a likely scenario.
Fair points. But... Factor in almost no flying for two months. This part of the world the narrow body FO's are relatively green. An obviously messed up approach. Fixation on catching the profile. Startle effect from TOGA. My gut says never down in the first place as opposed to being early on raising gear. Just my opinion as to most likely factors.
As for the Airbubba table. It helps to rule out a bounce which was one scenario brought foward.
I never brought up any past PIA incident.
