Cirrus down at Tooradin, VIC

[djpil]

About the same distance off the runway but in the opposite direction to this Cessna a few years ago: Kathryn's Report: Cessna 182S, VH-PCO: Accident occurred March 20, 2016 at Tooradin Airport, Victoria, Australia
I don't let people take my tailwheel airplane there, mainly for other reasons, but the wind is a factor.

I reckon most runways are like that...

They are shorter when you are going faster.

Thanks for posting those images Squawk.

Must have been one 'mother......' of a wind gust.

Not having flown a tailwheel aircraft I've no idea re the significance.guessing harder on the ground in a crosswind?

Why? If they are trained correctly, why would the wind be a factor? Apart from other reasons??

The Tooradin refueller says witnesses saw the Cirrus 'kangaroo' down the runway after a bad landing and eventually the pilot simply lost control. Nothing to do with wind which was minimal

[Squawk7700]

Correct... the wind certainly wasn’t significant and was as good as straight down the runway.

Seems that xwind wasn't a factor in this accident so slightly off topic. Being trained "correctly" at another airfield with a steady xwind and, based at YMMB, perhaps not being current in strong xwinds make the wind a factor so a decision on the day for the specific pilot.

That gutter needs work, Squawk! Perhaps Shifty Bill could oblige...
