Could be a PA31 stuck ( bogged ) or a PA31 " struck " by a wayward golf ball

Was told late last night a Conquest on or near a golf course in Tassie with bent nose wheel and props. Just trying to join the dots!!!!

Expensive, but it'll buff out. Woulda been cheaper if it was a chieftain, bloggsie.

Why is it the " good " aircraft seem to come to grief while the old Chieftains just keep ploughing along

To clarify, I certainly wasn't making light of the fact that a Conquest had pranged, only the aircraft names/type designators being made fun-of on another thread.

Bit more than a two stroke penalty there, I'm afraid!:=
or a PA31 " struck " by a wayward golf ball
Got hit by a mis-struck Golf ball when landing a Robin DR400 Glider Tug at a Gliding Club next to a Public Golf course in Hokkaido a number of years ago.:eek:
Caused a great deal of mirth in a few places!:D

Guess they won't be flying in 2 new props and some 100mph tape to fly her out!!!!! Anyone know the rego?? I remember seeing a similar paint job up north, but with 3 blades.

Recovery cost down there will be painful.
If it's on the runway, the surface looks terrible.

The new strip at Barnbougle "Lost Farm" ain't as good as the old one at BB Dunes. Last time I took a Conquest in there I could feel the nosewheel digging in here and there and C402/404/441 have a bit of a weakness in the nosewheel dept if you bog it...

But more importantly, the bar is much better at Lost Farm!

Horatio Leafblower, did you report this to the strip owner/operator? It may have prevented this accident.

What I meant mate was, you can report all you like, show all the airmanship you like, but we're in Australia, it won't be fixed.
Duck Pilot

Will be fixed if operators refuse to use the strip until it's repaired. Having a damaged aircraft on the strip wouldn't be good PR with the clientele that use the strip.

Why hasn't ATSB raised an occurrence number on this accident?

Why hasn't ATSB raised an occurrence number on this accident?Perhaps because the ATSB couldn't find the correct incident category for "using an aircraft as a plough"? :)

Write off ? - Difficult to see this flying again anytime soon

Nah. A couple of bulk strips and a few new bits and pieces and it'll be in the air in no time.

Has this aircraft been retrieved and fixed
Horatio Leafblower

Spoke to the owner a few weeks later looking for a source of parts... he said then that the insurance assessors will make the call. The aeroplane had been retrieved and moved to the Sharp facility in Launceston (I think).
No update since.

I have found that sometimes the truth isn't always with Flightaware though.

If 'they' can resurrect VH-KUZ (http://www.pprune.org/pacific-general-aviation-questions/423279-request-details-cessna-conquest-storm-encounter-severe-damage-after-u-recov.html?highlight=Kuz) after its tangle with a Top End thunderstorm then there is a fair chance JVL will live to fly another day.
