Plane down on the Capital golf course near Moorabbin
Saw this in the news yesterday.
I think I saw RAA rego starting with 24. Luckily, no one hurt. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....5dc40f2124.png |
Sorry..... there you go... "a hole in one"
|
Seems to have arrived on the 17th fairway (based on the bunker configuration)
This is up against Old Dandenong Road and quite a way from the departure?? end of the runway. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....0a3e4d04ec.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....cb6150c790.jpg |
I assumed EFATO. You’d probably only have to get to a couple of hundred feet after takeoff to get to that point. Lucky they got it down where they did and probably lucky they didn’t try and turn back. |
.........or simulated EFATO and oops! |

Anyone know what time of the day and what the wind direction was..? It looks like maybe he was coming in from the Nth to land on 17 (rather than taking off on 35) and he's put it down on the fairway, skipped over the bunker and into the scrub. Once again, the golf course saves the day! If you're ever unlucky enough to have an EFATO or engine quit on short final at Moorabbin, you want it to happen at that end, not the other..!

If you land on a golf course after an EFATO, I just say: Mulligan!
|
"Being assessed by paramedics", I can just see that "I'm a Paramedic, not a Pilot, but I'd give that landing a 4/10"
Glad everyone walked away alright! |
Reportedly a partial power loss and vibration at 300ft after takeoff. |
I hope they asked to play through, as they don't take too kindly to that at Capital...

There have been a few planes over the years that have landed in the same golf course due to carburetor icing. The weather at the time and engine symptoms are consistent with this.
On landing yes, but they were on takeoff. How likely is Carb ice with full power with the throttle butterfly full open? |

dropped valve? valve heads have been known to break off in these engines

Recall LAMEs talking about heading over to the golf course with a fine pitch prop to recover a SE Piper where the same thing probably happened. Problem with Carburetor Icing is it's hard to prove once the plane is on the ground and ice has melted. |
Carb icing could have happened during the relatively low power taxi but the power checks prior to departure should have found that.
