Miracle escape as plane crashes in back yard near Moorabbin airport
A PLANE has crash landed in the back yard of a house next to Moorabbin airport.
A female pilot in her 20s and a male in his 60s were lucky to escape unharmed.
Police said the four-seater Cessna clipped the roof of a house and then crashed into another house at 240 Lower Dandenong Rd.
It caused extensive damage and brought down powerlines before coming to a stop in the backyard.
Police said it was lucky no one was home at the time.
The plane ran out of fuel before crash landing, according to a Metropolitan Fire Brigade spokesman.
Moorabbin airport is behind the house.
The pilot and her passenger were treated for shock on the scene. No one else was injured.
"Considering the fact that it's come down in a back yard in the middle of suburbia, it's really quite a lucky escape,'' a police spokesman said.

Moorabbin haters will love this one....

Folks in the tower had a torrid time this arvo, what with this and the news choppers, the rescue plane, and then a Varieze with gear problems, as well as the hordes inbound from Carrum... Well done guys 
Glad to see no-one hurt, so could have a chuckle at the comment from the firey "...before crash landing" - not much "landing" that I can see...
And yes, this is the same 152 that had a forced landing on the Capital golf course a few years back. IIRC that was fuel-related too...

Yet another RVAC machine....
Same as the one that landed on Capital.
How are those 90-day checks working out?
Ah the memories from the previous thread on the RVAC prang at night into the trees short of the runway at MB not long ago. I'm waiting for the same negative response towards me!

Both blades of the prop were completely undamaged in the images on Channel Nine tonight: seemed to indicate that the donk was certainly stopped at the time of impact, IMO.
Thank you all for your unhelpful posts. The pilot and passenger are relatively unscathed. No one on the ground was injured.
Would you all like to add your little cup of petrol to the "Close YMMB" thread?
Maybe it might be better to shut up until you know what has occurred?
Maybe you might even like to consider the thousand hours flown per incident numbers before commenting?
Didn't think so.
Most of you have no idea what is significant statistically and what is not.

Sunfish, what about the thousands of hours flown and lesser number of incidents/accidents by other MB schools?
RVAC seem to have had more prangs at MB & surrounds than anyone else in recent years. Don't hate me for stating the obvious; but I'm more than prepared for the barrage of negative replies from the people who take offence to hearing the truth (especially after the thread about the Warrior that went bush-bashing).
Obviously speculation, but I wonder if those 90-day checks didn't catch this one out?
HL, love it!
Back Pressure, MB tower are tops!
Glad everyone is ok, obviously.
Close MB? Hell no.

Perhaps they need to bring the 90 day check down to 30 days - that will fix it.

I think that is not a fair comparison. Sure OAA might have 40 - 50 aircraft flying every day. But the vast majority of OAA's flying is training related. Whereas a high percentage of RVAC's flying is by "weekend warriors".
In fact, with the demise of other big operators, Schutts, Combined, Civil etc, my guess is that nowadays the RVAC has a much higher proportion (in relation to the the total number) of recreational flyers than it did in the past.
Perhaps this is where the perceived problem lies.
