Early reports suggest the pilot had trouble landing what appears to be a homemade light plane on the runway at the Geelong Sports Aviators Club near the Midland Highway.

only a doctor could tell when the exact moment of a heart attack struck, it might well have happened at take off, just might have been a bit longer before it became a serious fatal heart attack.
Hmm always believe the media NOT. Sad regardless. Following quote
from Pilot killed in light plane crash at Lethbridge, north-west of Geelong - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) refers to aircraft failing to take off .. not having issues on landing.
Witnesses said they saw the plane taxiing down the runway at the Lethbridge Airpark at about midday.
They said the pilot made several attempts to take off but it never reached altitude.
It then swerved off the runway and crashed into the grass.
Senior Sergeant Jim Lappin said onlookers, one of whom is a former paramedic and another who is a doctor, tried to revive the man but he died at the scene.
