Final report released...

Investigation: AO-2013-104 - Collision with terrain involving Cirrus SR22, VH-CKS, Boxwood, Victoria on 27 June 2013


The final approach to land was made after last light, with a family member positioned in a motor vehicle ‘at the end of the strip’. The vehicle’s headlights were intended to illuminate the upwind end of the strip, facing the oncoming aircraft. However, this lighting was inadequate and provided insufficient guidance for the approach and landing. This increased the risk of a collision with terrain.
