However, the fifth time the traffic controller allowed the plane\u2019s landing, the findings said, adding that that there was a lack of communication and harmony between the two pilots of the aircraft and the air traffic controllers.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the two pilots were not focused as they made the first landing attempt without opening the landing gears, during which its engines struck the runway and caught fire. The report added that the air traffic controller did not inform the pilots about the engine\u2019s fire.<\/p>\n

The report further said that the system that provided lubricant oil to both engines went out of order after the engine thudded the runway, stopping both engines at the same time. It added that the plane\u2019s last four-minute data could not be recorded as engine failure cut the electricity supply.<\/p>\n

The report also put the administrative responsibility for the accident on the PIA and the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) as well. It mentioned that the CAA rules regarding the pilots\u2019 flying plane, while fasting, were not evident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
