There’s more here than meets the eye, as Poteroo alludes.

As we’re all aware, there are no issues with flying near tourist areas and there’s no suggestion that tourist areas hold any special “ownership” of nearby airspace. But, all pilots must obey the rules for minimum altitudes and separation. Responsible pilots show no tolerance or sympathy for those pilots who deliberately and consistently flout the rules.

While flying (legally) near tourist areas is not an issue, flying below tree-top height and stupidly close to tourists is an issue – as is flying without a licence and flying an unregistered aircraft.

Hi Dennis,

I may be able to offer some assistance and point you in the right direction...

I can be contacted by email at: dhaulagiri (at) westnet (dot) com (dot) au. If you email me with your phone number, I will call you.

Cheers,

Obviously two separate accidents.

There's quite a bit of difference between a solo trike accident at Cervantes and a gyro accident involving an instructor and student at Exmouth.

Information received seems to indicate that this was a trike and something went wrong with a beach landing
