The final ATSB report is out.
Investigation: AO-2012-148 - Collision with terrain involving Cessna 172N, VH-JGR, near Kagaru, Queensland, 7 November 2012
Looks like insurers are now the contracted provider of ATSB investigative functions.

Insurance report
A representative of the insurer attended the accident site and examined the wreckage. The insurer concluded that JGR collided with the ground at about 50-60 knots at about 60°left wing down and about 20°nose down, at a high rate of vertical descent with the engine at idle power.

Hardly seems worth the effort, does it?
I may just save that report and put it up next time someone bemoans the fact that the ATSB doesn't generally investigate RA accidents - I reckon there is more worthwhile content in this thread in relation to possible causes.

Is it true the CFI of RQAC (at the time at the time of the accident) no longer works there after CASA investigated the place following the crash?
The report was rubbish. The info about the ATSB on the last page contains more information than the actual report.

Just a guess
He gone as a result of investigation. Prob an awesome pilot himself. I think CASA didn't like the fact that it was easy for students to get there hands on plane keys. No strict sign out rules - accident waiting to happen?. And AOC cancelled or suspended. RQAC students and instructors operate under Airline academy of Australia AOC. Ironically AAA had the same practice and their AOC was not cancelled.

Getting hands on keys isn't the issue. Some planes don't need keys. It about an ethos, a way of things, going about your flight in a methodical manner. Planning, both on your students part and monitoring by the instructor. Something which is managed by guidance and leadership, -something the place lost about a decade ago - when CASA decided to put the place in the hands of a 'mate'...... Insider trading in any other business. The place had not seen an inch of common sense or leadership or competence since. Sad really, seeing as how the real 'boss' is still there.

I was around rq at the time and for sometime after this accident and as far as I'm aware old mate hasn't been back. Shame, I'm sure he would have been welcomed with open arms..cough
So either he's given up or he's now some other insurance companies problem
