I do.

(More characters needed to post reply)... so "characters" are the operative word.


EDIT to add: There are "compliant" characters and "protected" characters and then just "characters" and sometimes just "operators".

So you believe that what they generally get up to contributed to the engine failure in this accident?

The ATSB often refer to engine failure in the initial report when , I presume, they have evidence of such. They have not done so on this occasion so far. The report was updated today, still no mention of engine failure.

The pilot quoted engine failure to the media (allegedly).

Where does it say CFIT? who said it was a CFIT? ATSB report stated collision with terrain.
Ultralights - Sorry about the confusion as my post was a response to another peterc005 gem, which he has since deleted.

It looks to me like engine failure, a low level turn to make it onto the beach followed by a stall during a probable steep turn.

If you watch what's in the links posted above, the pilot said that he was going to put it down on the edge of the water but was concerned about drowning his passengers so headed for the land instead and whacked the dunes.

You are right, but I thought for such extensive damage to occur would have involved a low level drop, followed by a cartwheel.

I'm fairly certain that action was taken regarding the contents of afore mentioned video. It was discussed on here previously.

Seems like CASA may have acted. From the 1770 charter web page.
27Jan17: 1770 Castaway regret to advise that we have cancelled all tours until further notice. We have only been given the advice today & apologize to all customers for cancelling their much anticipated experience. Currently booked passengers are to contact their travel agent in regards to refunds or if you have booked directly with us, then contact us directly.

Carry out a landing inspection in a landing direction. Good idea.

It's also very sad that Bruce (the Chief Pilot) passed away only last month.

It’s frustrating when the ATSB gets bogged down with these things. Does it make any difference to the investigation? Maybe!
Do they need to even mention it in the report? No. It has no bearing on the accident and makes no difference to me as a reader.
The ATSB seem to get easily distracted!
