Kharon:
Except, the return sector started normally but ended in a return to Emerald with a 'minor engine failure' (whatever the hell that is), which was serious enough to keep the aircraft on the deck for two days. There is no ATSB follow up report on that incident that I can find available.
You are correct "K" it is very hard to find the ATsBeaker connection to this...

Virgin Australia Regional Airlines (VARA) ATR 72-600 VH-FVR Makes Emergency Landing at Emerald Airport ...but after much trolling through (half-arsed) weekly summary lists I was able to finally track it down...
{Note: While in the process, out of academic interest (as there seem quite a few), I compiled a list of all recorded incidents for the calendar year '14 of ATsBeaker weekly summaries, so the incident in which you refer is in red..

Unfortunately the list is somewhat lost in electronic interpretation but you get the gist "K", as for your assumption of the ATsBeaker
..."move along nothing to see here"...(SOPs for a cash strapped State AAI..
) you were spot on (i.e. that is what the
"No" signifies) as there is no investigation number designated to the incident (unlike the Albury incident)...
Hmm wonder how many of the above incidents (prior to 25/02) were also related to the ill-fated VH-FVR??
