Pakistan Airliner Landed Gear Up On First Try: Report
Pakistan media is reporting Pakistan International Airlines Flight PK8303 landed gear up and the crew muscled it back into the air before it crashed on a second landing attempt, killing 97 of 99 people aboard on Friday. According to reports gathered by the Aviation Herald, the A320 slid on its nacelles at the airport in Karachi for more than a thousand feet before it became airborne again.

Yep. Good stuff
I wonder about the culture of the airline. It seems to be heavily influenced by the military. Airlines run that way tend to give unquestioned authority to the captain and many first officers are afraid to challenge the captain. If the CVR
transcript is made available to the public it will be interesting to read what the first officer said and what, if any, actions he took.

Korean Airlines was like that. Several crashes. Got to be so bad, US Military forbade service personnel & families from flying on the airline.
Not understanding the warning systems in any automated cockpit or the ability to run a checklist is a training issue that goes far beyond even the ability to fly a plane! From an Indian Airbus crew that forgot to raise the gear to now another crew forgetting to lower it.......you can’t make this stuff up?
Actually they DID remember to put the gear down... but the plane refused to lower it because they touched down at well over safe deployment speeds! They were on an incredibly steep approach and should have gone around, landing gear down or not. Arguably even worse than forgetting to put the gear down.
Your answer does not make sense. Max gear extension speed is a least 100 knots faster than touchdown speed so using your rationale, the gear doors should have started to open prior to touchdown, but there were only engine nacelle scrape marks on the runway. Steep approach would dictate flight idle so there should have been a gear warning tone, EGPWS warning tone, likely an tone or annunciator indicating speed to fast for landing flaps and two tone deaf pilots up front which in this case should have carried warning sticker right on the fuselage beside the entry door!
I think Alex meant vertical speed (rate of descent), not forward speed.
