------- landing without a clearance is a scary occurrence.
RobShan,
At the time, the Avalon aerodrome was uncontrolled, the tower had closed about an hour earlier.
The whole incident was tracked by Melbourne radar, so ATSB (and, presumably, CASA) have complete details of the track and heights of the aircraft.
There is significant terrain in the immediate vicinity of the airfield.
Tootle pip!!
Thank you for the reply, I have generally found Ben's blog a reliable source of information. The fact the tower closed three hours earlier, shows his information is not correct in this case. It may be it is totally wrong or it may be something like the flight left controlled airspace descending without proper clearance.
As a matter full disclosure, my sentence quoted above did start with "If the sequence of events is confirmed..." which did come from doubt because of the limited amount of confirmed information available.
