Re Citation near Kalgoorlie- Investigation: 198304358 - Cessna 501, VH-BNK, 10 Km NE of Kalgoorlie WA, 5 December 1983
I was in Broken Hill Flight Service at time of incident - there were numerous phone calls from interested parties within 10 mins of the incident - bush telegraph working really well - certainly no mobile phones.
I seem to remember BNK belonged to North Broken Hill - had the Managing Director on board and as I heard it due to the safe landing, despite only breaking out of cloud at low level, the pilot kept his job.
I believe the only penalty for the pilot from Flight Standards (forerunner of CASA) was to redo 1 (or more?) senior commercial subjects.
