At 8 am 40 miles from a city on landing a bunch of roos jumped out, I ended up in the trees my legs pinned. My flight bag with 406 GPS ELT was thrown 6 inches from my reach and I was bleeding badly.

The airfield has low traffic use daily normally but has its own area frequency.

My radios work fine but no-one will can hear my calls for help. I see several jets flying over head, but they do not respond (I hear then talk to the city on the city area frequency). The airliners have now passed and my bleeding is worse so I call the city area frequency but as I am low they not hear my calls.

AS I start to fade I select 12


But time is gone just as I am - I lost my chance on my 1 call for help, and I could see the help pass overhead the contra trail were so clear and they will see me at 4.30pm when a chopper lands for the night stay.
