02:53 - Roger... AND repeated aural warning (chime ?) sounds in background 04:50 - 8303 going around 06:48 - sir we have..just give me 2000 (feet) 07:17 - we are trying to maintain... 09:06 - we are proceeding direct, we have lost engines 09:36 - MAYDAY,MAYDAY,MAYDAY Pakistan 830..3 [ last x-mission ? ] 0940: - ATC : Pakistan 8303 Roger both runways available to land |
So the had a go-around because of landing gear extension issue and then dual engine flame-out?! Doesn't make sense.

No ADS-B data available apparently :( My only reasonable explanation would be a very bad case of bird strike but I'm sure they would have reported it.. |
Engine noise
The video that claims to be from the last moments of the flight has audible engine noise (doesn’t look or sound like it is in surge).
The video may turn out to be something other than claimed of course. BV |
I'm betting on technical problem leading to go-arounds -- and in focus on fixing technical problem, forgetting about fuel state and flame out. It has happened before. United Airlines in 1978. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...nes_Flight_173
|
There's 5.5 mins between the go-around and impact.... Doesn't that make lack of fuel less likely?
|
I’m not sure if that video showing the port side is the real deal. Seems like a normal approach to me. If it is the video, then glide speed is good and I assume they simply landed short. Gear is down.
|
There is a post crash fire. Fuel exhaustion highly unlikely.
|
Flight time from Lahore to Karachi appears normal. Impossible that it was a fuel leak that went undetected flying overland, many alternates. Improper fuelling in Lahore? Did they forget to retract gear for some reason, or that the gear didn't retract?

This just up on the net. Both engines are charred underneath significantly. Light smoke behind engines. |
The bottom video of this tweet (marked 'The video of #planecrash') is a low quality video (probably capturing on-screen playback of a security cam??), apparently shows an a/c crashing
|
There is no alert on the 320 if you choose to fly gear down the entire trip. It’s been done before. There would be significant noise flying in such configuration also.
However they would be aware of such low fuel state prior to the first approach. Why the heck would anyone even contemplate a missed approach with nothing in the tanks. Which is why I would be opening up the engineering books! |

Quick-and-dirty vertical profile from 5000', per FR24 data:

WOW! Those engines look like they've been run around the ground to me..... Gear up landing, lifted of again, engines failed due to damage, crashed?

I can see what you’re thinking but the FR24 track shows a go around before 0 feet.

Could the dirty lower nacelles be due to oil leaks, maybe over the whole flight? I know it's both engines but maybe there was some sort of systematic maintenance error.
If the oil loss is total then both engines could run down due to lack of lubrication. |

Are we sure this is the aircraft from today? RAT looks deployed, the engine undersides look quite bad... The left one has bits hanging off oft he lip? |
