Highly likely a bird strike

1. Engine cowlings are black from below
2. Smoke coming out from engines

Media needs to get it together, they always try and give out information at a pace thats too fast, which results in false information going out. I've heard this plane being called a Boeing 320 today, not a good thing at all.

Ram Air Turbine (RAT) was deployed due to engine(s) failure experienced by PIA Airbus A320 (aircraft registration AP-BLD) Lahore to Karachi flight PK8303 that crashed near Karachi Airport today.

The RAT generates power from the airstream by ram pressure due to the speed of the aircraft.

Anyone flying regularly to Karachi is aware of the birds present, on Finals and Departure End of Rwy 25.
Even flying a Cessna with a much lower approach speed, we still have to make significant changes to our Flight Path on Final Approach due to Birds on Short Finals.
Anyone notice the black smoke right below the engines?

Thoughts and Prayers with All The Families of the victims and prayers for quick recovery of all those survived.

Inallilah hi wa inailahi rajiouw. Really sad news.

i hope the crash site is secured and that debris is not carried off randomly so that crucial clues dont go missing.

Blog post on Flightradar24 about the incident.

Pakistan International Airlines flight PK 8303 crashed while attempting to landing in Karachi on 22 May. Flight 8303 was en route from Lahore when it crashed near the airport after conducting a go around and during its second landing attempt. The flight was operated by A320 AP-BLD.

This aircraft is tracked via MLAT, which means it does not broadcast position information via ADS-B. Flightradar24’s position data for MLAT tracked flights is calculated by the time difference of signal arrival to four receivers. If fewer than four receivers see the aircraft, position data cannot be calculated, thus limiting the positional data available for this flight. Altitude data is broadcast and altitude data was received from PK8303.

I already gave photo of Captain Sajid Gul to History of PIA Abbas Ali should put picture photo of Capt Sajid Gul. if not then I will try to find look where video camera of Captain Sajid Gul and try to send it to History of PIA Abbas Ali inshallah.

A320 is very good cockpit but only classic engine old age but new A320NEO engine upgraded better beat bird striker I love A318 319 320 321 a lot.
