Good Outcome
from ABC
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-13/plane-emergency-incident-newcastle-airport/103838786
A light plane has made a "textbook wheels-up" landing during an emergency at Newcastle airport.
Emergency crews were on standby after the pilot reported the plane's landing gear had failed just before 10am.
The aircraft had circled above for more than two hours before it made the landing at 12:18pm.

Update from ABC
A Victorian coroner has labelled allegations that Australia's largest administrator of pilots concealed its concerns about licensing a man who fatally crashed his plane "deeply troubling".

The first Icon A5 in Australia is apparently set for imminent delivery
Owner is asking for shareholders. Nothing comes up in rego search for VH-ICN
I have a ramp to the river and a shed designed to fit a B206 and an A5, looks like the A5 space will be empty for the current future.

The Legend 600 suffered damage from an unknown cause possibly a bird strike which fractured the vertical stabiliser resulting in loss of control. The pilot deployed the plane’s ballistic patachute to bring the plane down safely. The occupants were not injured but the plane suffered extensive damage contacting a tree on the landing.

Think they should rewrite this part
He said it was too late to abort the landing, and the 1985 Mooney M20 landed on its undercarriage and skidded 50 metres before coming to a standstill.

Make that 4 times. Must be a training flight. I thought they used simulators for that now, cheaper than tooling round in an empty heavy.
Hi Marty D, it was a RAAF 737
When you cant see the aircraft on flight radar have a look at ADSB Exchange

Happy Christmas and all the best for the New Year.
I will have a quite moment on Christmas Day thinking of fellow aviators that have passed during the year, thinking of their family’s as well.
(Miss you Sandra, Deb & Nicki)
Maybe even raise a glass of wine (I won’t be flying)

Reports filtered through yesterday 8th of December that a Par Avion Islander was missing in Tasmania’s South West National Park on it’s way to Melaleuca with only the pilot on board.
During the day search aircraft failed to find the Islander due to poor weather in the area.
The Westpac Rescue helicopter had dropped 3 Police search crew & an Ambulance paramedic into the South West National Park area around 5.00pm.They have direction finding equipment to locate the beacon”.
Sadly an early morning report from ABC
Wreckage of missing plane found in Tasmania, pilot presumed deadWWW.ABC.NET.AU
Search and rescue police say the plane's sole occupant, the pilot, could not have survived the crash.
Thoughts are with the pilots family, friends, rescue personnel, Shannon & all at Par Avion

Just wanted to let forum members know that pre-sale Gold pass tickets to Avalon Airshow go on sale Monday 8th October.
Available from Ticketmaster.
I have also contacted ICON re the A5
The reply was
“As of current, we can’t deliver / ship an ICON A5 to Australia; because of this we are going to hold off on the Avalon 2019 air show. Once we are able to fly in Australia, we would love to partner up”
