A PILOT for the no-frills airline Jetstar is being investigated over claims he was texting on his mobile phone during landing.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that air safety investigators are looking into an incident that took place on Jetstar flight from Darwin to Singapore on May 27.
The paper said that the A321-200, which was carrying 167 passengers, was forced to pull out of a landing at Changi Airport after the pilots were warned by the plane's onboard systems that the landing gear was not down.
The plane was said to be only 122 metres above the ground when the alarm was triggered.
The plane landed safely the second time around.
The Herald reported that neither Jetstar or the Australian Transport Safety Bureau would comment on the allegations that one of the pilots was was using his phone just before landing.
Ian Sangston, the bureau's director, told the paper that the plane was "lower than they would have liked" when the landing was aborted.

This is not the first time Jetstar has been scrutinised over its landings.
