The altitude of the crashed plane was higher than usual, the pilot did not obey the approach radar despite repeated requests, the report reveals alarming

A report by the Air Traffic Controller on the plane that crashed in Karachi on Friday said that the altitude of the plane was higher than normal and the pilot did not obey despite repeated instructions from the approach radar.The report of the Air Traffic Controller said that when PK8303 was at a distance of 15 nautical miles from Karachi Airport, its altitude was 10,000 feet, though at that distance the aircraft should have been 7,000 feet high. When the air traffic controller asked the pilot to lower the altitude, he said he was satisfied.According to the report, the air traffic controller asked the pilot to lower the altitude for the second time when the plane was 10 nautical miles away. At 5 nautical miles, the altitude of the aircraft was 3,500 feet. The controller instructed the pilot to delay the landing for the third time and the plane to turn left at 180 degrees, but the pilot ignored the controller's instruction for the third time and said run. He will land on the 25th left.At the time, the plane was 5 nautical miles from the airport and at an altitude of 1,500 feet. The plane touched 4,000 feet on a 10,000-foot runway instead of the 200-foot standard "Threshold". There is nothing in the air traffic control report regarding the non-opening of the landing gear of the aircraft. It is believed that the pilot initially lifted the plane off the runway because the landing gear did not open.
