Beech Kingair down At YPPH
Perth Radio 6PR reporting at 11.40am., that a Beech Kingair has 'come down' at YPPH.
Latest news report at 11.55am., is that it was a landing gear 'failure' on landing.
11 POB, no injuries reported so far.
That is the brief news headline, and the extent of the info so far.
More later I expect.

Crash landing and the pilots lost control?
It may have been a King Air, Q400 or a Robinson R22 helicopter!!!
Some journalists obviously get their degrees from the toilets roll in the **** haus, thank goodness they aren’t Pilots🤬🤬🤬🤬
Any journalist with an operational background in aviation would run rings around some of these sensationalised rubbish media reports. Referring to an emergency landing as a crash landing as a result of an abnormal situation is an insult, particularly when the flight crew do all the right things and they have been trained to do so, and are routinely assessed on the emergency procedures.

Griffo; And a Merry Christmas to you, me old...
The online article is suggestive that the problem was due to a hard landing, which I guess although not completely impossible seems unlikely to me.
In looking at the FR24 history I see there's an elongated track out to the coast before then circling back to the downwind. Now I'm not familiar with Perth operations, but maybe they had an idea there were issues with the undercarriage and were attempting to sort that out before landing, or is this a normal manoeuvre for spacing reasons etc?

Can’t be many 3 blade King Airs left in Aus
Maybe this former Pearl aircraft will have 4 blades in its next life
