Whilst in technically true that the plane was landing, I don't think he was actually making a landing.

Looked a lot more like the plane wasn't under power at all.

Landing gear were down, so it was likely coming in for a landing when the incident occurred. Based on the height and positioning, maybe an attempted go-around that ended in abandoning the craft entirely.
