The Bureau of Air Safety Investigation has begun an inquiry into the mid-air incident. The pilot was commanding a freight operations flight to Brisbane on Monday morning but shortly before touching down failed to report his position to airport control. &quot;We don't really know what happened up there,&quot; a spokesman, Mr John Death, said today. &quot;We are fully aware of the incident and have begun a thorough investigation. &quot;For some reason the pilot failed to report his position but there was no actual danger involved.&quot; The pilot, who landed the plane without incident, has been grounded while the investigation is carried out. Airline authorities believe he may have experienced a technical breakdown, but have not ruled out the possibility he could have fallen asleep at the controls. &lt;/subsample&gt;
