ABC news report that they made a call to the "co-owner of the small family business" ...."who was in a state of shock" and "has since stopped taking calls"
ABC also made the comment that the airport master plan extends to 2033 and included projected increase demand for interstate flights, in particular fly in fly out mining workers, but that dynamic has changed.
It was also described as "Australia's most residential airport".
Does the direction and drift of the smoke indicate a crosswind (from the right) that became a tail wind as the aircraft "turned" to the left?
There has been large numbers of engineers and workmen along that fence line over the past six months, excavating the slope for the freeway widening. The aircraft came to rest next to a temporary safety fence.

Post removed.
Removed my post because it was a response to a post which has now been deleted (I wish people wouldn't do that) and which was therefore likely to cause confusion.

Stunning (although irrelevant) coincidence that Advance Airline King Air accident in Sydney in 1980 was also 21 February.

Hi Stallie
Hope this finds you well, and elephant stamp for you.
John, good sir, thank you for the Flight Manual, usual superb Flight Safety publication used to train pilots how to get the BEST out of the aircraft, but they cannot make a Part 23 aircraft perform any better than what is required by whatever Amendment this Part 23 design was up to. Unfortunately it is silent on the EFATO numbers which will in the POH.
There is however a really instructive diagram in Figure GEN-2.
Groundhog Day comes to Essendon.
The question of the fully informed consent of the passengers remains open.

This is the second flight from a Melbourne Airport to King Island in the space of just over a year to go down. Rough run of luck. I hope it doesn't affect Tassy tourism.
RIP to all on board

What a terrible accident... very sad.
I really hope it's not seen as insensitive to raise this, but on the surface it appears alarmingly similar to the B200 accident a couple of years ago at Wichita/ICT:
During the initial climb, the pilot declared an emergency and stated that the airplane "lost the left engine." The airplane climbed to about 120 ft above ground level, and witnesses reported seeing it in a left turn with the landing gear extended. The airplane continued turning left and descended into a building on the airfield. A postimpact fired ensued

According to the ATSB and the Coroner.....

There was no other evidence to indicate

The operator, Advance Aviation, had two 200s, one (VH-AAV) was fitted with auto-feather, the other was not. For the benefit of standardised procedures it was company policy not to arm the AFX on AAV.
It was generally accepted that the pilot managed to manually feather the left prop on AAV but it was overweight and underpowered (company policy to use ITT of 700°C for take-off rather than flight manual 750°C) and couldn't maintain level flight even in ground effect.

Yep. Dashcam in a Car travelling north on Bulla Road
(see Dash cam shows plane crash into Melbourne shopping centre - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)).
Google maps streetview see (https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37....7i13312!8i6656).
Looks like the wheels are down, but the video quality is not great.
A sad day.

Whilst not implying anything in relation to this accident, are there any King Air drivers out there that are unaware of a bit of a gotcha in relation to (what I call) power lever slide-back?
Due to incorrect friction settings; it likes to happen on takeoff when your hands come off the power levers and you go to retract the gear. It can feel like an engine failure.

Quite eerily it is 37 years to the day since Beech Super King Air 200 VH-AAV crashed at Mascot after a left engine failure on take-off
