Hydraulic emergency

[U2]

Over the airbands I heard an aircraft VH- CSW ( I think) inbound to Tindal with a hydraulic failure and the intention to do a wheels-up at Tindal. I think it is a reims caravan.


Any info on the outcome?

I never knew Caravans were retractable..

Hope all works out for them.

A reims caravan is a C406 which is a C404 with a PT6 strapped on each wing in leu of the GTSIO520.
No idea how it got the name, perhaps someone out there could enlighten us.

Couldn't have been CSW as there is no aircraft of that rego on the register. Most likely was CSV, which is a Titan owned by Vee H
Aviation from Fyshwick in the ACT. See topic about wheels up at Tindal in beginning of posts.
