The pilots of a Pakistan airliner that crashed last month, killing 97, were distracted and preoccupied as they talked about the coronavirus pandemic while preparing for an initial failed attempt to land, the country's aviation minister says.
The report, reviewed by Reuters, did not spell out the pilots' conversation on the virus, but said they did not follow set protocols.
The report said the aircraft was cleared by controllers to land without observing that the landing gears were not extended, nor was it conveyed to the pilots that the engines had scraped the runway. Shortly after the engines scraped the runway and a go-around was attempted, both engines failed one-by-one, the report said.
