Hoax caller impersonating air traffic control forces pilot to abandon landing

[mhm]

Police in Australia have launched an investigation after a hoax caller pretending to be an air traffic controller made false transmissions to a pilot, forcing the aircraft to abort its landing.
The Virgin Australia flight was about 80 metres from the runway at Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport when it received instruction from an anonymous, unauthorised person transmitting from an unknown location, causing the pilot to pull up and change course.
