PA-28 vs Saab 340 at Shellharbour, 6 July 2023
From the report:
"The pilot of a Piper Cherokee which took off over a Saab 340 that was backtracking on the same runway used non-standard radio phraseology and had missed a transmission from the larger aircraft, an ATSB investigation report details.
The Piper pilot began their take-off from runway 34 at Shellharbour, NSW, as part of a solo navigational training exercise on 6 July 2023.
At the same time, a Saab 340 regional airliner was backtracking along the same runway, having just landed on a scheduled passenger service from Brisbane.
As the crew of the Saab saw the Piper conducting its take-off roll towards them, they attempted to contact the Piper pilot on the radio, but were unable to make contact, and veered their aircraft to the edge of the runway.
When the pilot of the Piper saw the Saab, they elected to continue the take-off, passing over the left wing of the Saab at approximately 150 ft above ground level."
