Incident at Goulburn YGLB


XAIRVTW

Recommended Posts

Engine out on take-off. Put it down in a paddock off the end of the strip. Pilot suffered minor cuts and passenger was taken away on a stretcher as a precaution against possible back injuries.

 

Local media reporting it as a "miraculous" escape from certain death. We locals are calling it a good example of why our training involves so much practice of engine failures on take-off. He actually used one of the paddocks we've all picked for this exact occurrence!

 

The pilot has only owned the plane for a few months so it's a pity to see the poor bird hurt.
