I don't know, Dick. Perhaps we should wait and see what an investigation of the cause reveals. What's the weather like up in Toowoomba? It's a bit too hot here for me to be jumping to conclusions, but perhaps that's the only exercise available to some people.....

Do you see that as relevant? Can you explain why it might be relevant to this incident? Not stirring, I'm genuinely curious as to why you think it might be a relevant actor in this incident.

I see that you are labelling it as a "crash" while the ATSB stubbornly calls it a forced landing, but what would they know about anything?

Lets not get too far ahead of ourselves, the ATSB are investigating and all will be revealed in due course

Very pleasing to see you say that. But you still haven't said why you think factory built or experimental might be relevant though.

The report does say there was substantial damage. Maybe a good compromise would be to say crash landing?

Maybe, but we won't know yet until we get more details so I'd prefer to stick with the ATSB's far less emotive language for now.

ATSB calls the Jab one forced landing in their summary, (see summary below - the bolding and underlining were added by me) and categorises it as an accident. They don't call it a crash. No word from them on the Tecnam incident/accident/occurrence yet.

 

FT's determination to emotively label every incident involving a Jabiru as a crash brings only heat to the discussion but sheds no light.

 

I'm suggesting is that we wait for ATSB to conduct the autopsy and determine the cause(s) rather than have the "experts" here decide the cause.

 

I think we would be better congratulating the pilots of the Jab and the Tecnam on their piloting skills for getting their aircraft on the ground safely than jumping to conclusions about either incident.

 

Summary

 

The ATSB is investigating an engine failure involving a Jabiru J430, VH-SZQ, 56 km WNW of Oakey Airport, Queensland on 19 November 2015.

 

 

 

 

 

During cruise, the engine failed and the pilot conducted a

 

forced landing

 

onto a road resulting in substantial damage.

 

 

 

 

 

As part of the investigation the ATSB will interview the pilot, gather maintenance information and additional information as required.

 

 

 

 

 

A report will be released in several months.

Back in the day when language was used politely, gentlemen perspired but ladies felt the heat; Cars broke down but Rolls Royces failed to proceed. Perhaps Jabirus crash while other brands have in flight anomalies.
