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.

Did one of the photos of the plane climbing out from the first attempt look like the flaps and slats weren't down?
I’m a novice airman and all of you are obviously professionals in the art of aviation. Can someone comment on what happen on the second approach to the runway when they crashed into a neighborhood? Thanks.
A very Similar thing happened with American Eagle (I Believe Trans States Airlines) touched down on the Belly and pulled it back off the ground for a Go Around... Big difference here was that the Gear Handle was Down and they showed 3 Green. they Cycled the Gear, did a fly by the tower to verify gear down and made a successful landing. The problem was with the PSEU (Proximity Switching Electronic Unit). ERJ released an AD to fix the problem. That is the only event of the ERJ doing a Gear up Touch and Go, but there were others that showed gear down when it wasn't. The only cockpit indication was a Gear Handle Disagree but still had 3 green.
One thing unique about that one, was that it was actually caught by a TV Camera Man doing an interview at the airport

Yes Sparkie624. It was an Embraer 145. I was instructing Captain upgrade with CHQ at the time and we had quite a lesson on this. Which do you believe. The three green or gear handle disagree? If the two are not in sync, there's something going on.
WoW! I'm at a loss for words on this one!
I understand there's a theory out there that suggests: Flight comes in high and fast, but properly configured (gear lowered). Pilots realize they haven't enough runway and decide to go around. TOGO power, flaps adjust, gear up. But crew fails to account for engine spool-up taking 6-7 seconds. Plane settles onto runway. Engines scrape, then thrust comes on and PIC raises nose, go-around commences...
I'm no pilot. Is this scenario within the realm of possibility?
