FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A Jetstar flight from Darwin landing in Singapore narrowly avoided disaster after the captain became distracted by his mobile phone, an investigation has found.
In a moment of confusion and miscommunication the pilots forgot to put down the landing gear and had to abort the landing less than 150 metres from the tarmac, The Age reported.
An Australian Transport Safety Bureau report on the May 27, 2010, incident found the pilots had lost their “situation awareness” and failed to do a landing checklist.
Investigators found the captain’s mobile phone, which he had forgotten to turn off, began beeping with incoming text messages after the auto-pilot had been deactivated.
As the plane descended to Singapore Airport the crew failed to communicate what they intended to do as a cockpit alert and a “too low” ground warning alarm went off.
The crew finally aborted the landing and powered up thrust at about 119 metres.
Jetstar said lessons learned from the incident had been incorporated into pilot training.
“Pilot distraction meant all the landing checklist items weren’t completed before the aircraft passed an altitude of 500 feet, at which point a go-around was required under our operating procedures,” said Jetstar’s Chief Pilot, Captain Mark Rindfleish.
“The combination of factors on JQ57 has provided new learnings and the opportunity to add to these safeguards, which we take very seriously.”
Pilots were reminded to turn off their phones and do landing checklists before reaching 300 metres.
