Lost a good friend yesterday in the C182 near Tomahawk. Appears to have been an over-run or overshoot incident. While both pilots, it was the passenger who walked out. Wishing him the best for his recovery in hospital.

FarCU that is the wrong one. It is about two or three miles in an easterly direction, grass, it you didn't know where it is you wouldn't see it on google earth.

Without disrespect to the deceased, ATSB lodged a notice on their website on Sunday the 31st December 2017 for VH-NOO. It is Sunday 21st 2018 and nothing has been raised for this case yet. Is this a local?

The reality is that the general public would be googling the Sydney crash and looking for answers along with the news covering it heavily so the ATSB needs to be seen to be doing something.

The report doesn’t attribute fault. It does say the pilot assumed the wind on the ground would be the same as the wind at altitude. It says pilot noticed that his ground speed on approach was higher than normal. The pilot continued his approach with a vehicle on the runway. The pilot first touched down 433 metres into the runway with 284 metres remaining, bounced several times before applying power and colliding with terrain. The report found no fault with the aircraft.
Probably not much more to say.

Maybe because it can reinforce the dangers of taking shortcuts, and the consequences that can follow on from doing so.
