David Isaac Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 A C150 has just crashed on land adjacent the airfield at Warnervale. Both POB OK. Aircraft is a flip over and a right off. All's well that ends well (except for the poor C150) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mc Guyver Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Returning from Dubbo, didn't quite make the field ...... I heard him calling 5 Miles west of the field @2300 ft. with intentions to glide to Warnervale. Pity he didn't take the fields west of the freeway with a turf farm making a good landing spot. However it is always very easy to comment after the incident/accident from an armchair ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 The C150s are prone to carb icing on descent if carb heat isn't used......or could this have been fuel exhaustion ?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ozzie Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Just caught this on NBN news. would have worked out OK except for the soft muddy ground that folded the nose gear back a bit and ended up in a slow trip onto it's back. Fair bit of damage. Both were pilots PIC was Paul Bennet, Said he was a bit panicky but mate calmed him down, he did a good job just shame they came up a bit short but with plenty of clear space with soft ground. Good day for icing or maybe a bit of leaning would have given them the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchroll Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 The C150s are prone to carb icing on descent if carb heat isn't used......or could this have been fuel exhaustion ?.... Hopefully neither, as both are quite avoidable! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 If the fuel cap leaks the bladder tank (If fitted) can suck up and let a bit of fuel out still showing plenty of fuel on the gauge. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
