The two Northwest Airlines pilots, whose plane overshot its destination by 150 miles on Wednesday, have reportedly said they were using their laptop computers at the time.
The federal agency investigating the incident quoted the pilots as saying they had accessed their personal computers during the flight.
Contact with the Northwest Airlines jet was lost for more than an hour before it landed in Minneapolis.
The use of personal computers on the flight deck violates company policy.
