AAIB Releases Preliminary Report on PK8303 A320 Crash
For unknown reasons, the pilots of Pakistan International Airlines Flight PK8303 took off after landing with the gear retracted.

Pakistan’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Board (AAIB) released the preliminary report about the crash of state-owned Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Flight PK8303 on May 22, 2020. While the report, published late on June 24, didn’t specifically blame the pilots for the accident, it summarized information about the Airbus A320’s last flight, in which 97 of the 99 people on board died. Four people on the ground were injured, one of whom later died. 

Among the proposed next steps for its investigation, AAIB said it intended to look more closely at aircrew records, "related to their medical fitness, licensing, training records and personal documents." The agency also indicated it will look at PIA's crew scheduling and rest process for the month prior to the accident.
