Light plane crash Hillcrest QLD 6.4.23
Teckair replied to trailer's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
Ch7 news said she was at 9000 ft when both engines stopped which didn't make sense to me. Probably just incorrect reporting. -

There are people on here who claimed that a piston engine twin can fly on one engine with no problems eg Whyalla Airlines. -
Apparently midair at Gympie at 3pm today, 9/11/22
Teckair replied to Jase T's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
Apparently it was not the tug aircraft. News saying it was a ultralight Sabre. Near airports you really need to be reporting on the correct frequency. -

How does a tug aircraft collide with the glider? I'm surprised there are not more mid air accidents. Speaking from experience it's nearly impossible to see a aircraft approaching towards you head on. -
In about 1989 I was at the Donnington air park. I went for a flight with a guy in a 503 Thruster. He was climbing out at 45 kts. I told him if the motor failed he would crash. He said some times he climbed at 40 kts and he had to do that to get it to climb. I got out of that plane and another passenger got in. During the take off there was a partial engine failure it went from full power to 4000 rpm. This resulted in a crash the pilot was not a old person who had just been warned about the risk. In about 1993 a person I had been instructing in my Thruster at Childers went and bought the Donnington crash Thruster. He went flying with a Bundaberg instructor who I don't think had experience with Thrusters. This instructor pulled the power on take off which resulted in another crash. They couldn't recover even though the motor was still running.

I had well over 1000 hours of instructing in ultralights. Over 300 was in Thrusters, Gemini, TST, T300, T500, but apparently I don't know what I am talking about. I was part of the solution in solving the Gemini nodding problem but once again I don't know what I talking about. AUF personal and the then Thruster factory at the time knew of the dangers of EFOTF with a 503 fully loaded Thruster. I think I have been reminded why it is a waste of time posting on these forums.

On the news tonight accident west of Brisbane plane departed Dalby and went missing. Three people dead, wreckage scattered in inhospitable territory. The pilot was reported as very experienced as a well known identity. I am wondering what the weather was like in that area today.

Can anyone advise as to whether or not trike hire is available in Australia?

Lockhart River Qld. Plane crash. 11th March 2020.
Teckair replied to planedriver's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
There appears to be no fire. -
Maybe climate change is now causing these crashes you know the drought and all that?

Light aircraft crash, S.A. Riverland
Teckair replied to onetrack's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
You would not have to be very bright to work out the low flying I was talking about was not take off and landing. -
Light aircraft crash, S.A. Riverland
Teckair replied to onetrack's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
I think most pilots know that low flying is dangerous but they still choose to do it. I talked to a bloke with who flew in a dangerous manner and he said he was just having fun and I said yeah but you are dead a long time. Now he's dead, it's all a part of evolution, most times you can't change it. -

And that sums it up for the beat-ups doesn't matter how good you think you are. -
I think something more than the pilot landed short has happened to cause this. I can't see how anyone flying that plane could not work out they going to be short and fail to do something about it. Watching it again looks/sounds like they put the power on a bit and then messed up the landing maybe this pilot needs to go back flight school?
