Lake Eyre aircraft down
Something going on over Lake Eyre as we speak. Hearing rumors of an aircraft down.
|
Plenty of excellent forced landing areas, so probably a non event.

To avoid confusion UCX is flying according to FR
|
UCX appears to be looking for/at another aircraft…

It takes a few decades for the lake to dry to ‘airstrip hardness’. |
ABC News reporting Cessna 172, 4 POB, no injuries. Police enroute. Reported to ATSB. Still don’t have enough posts to provide a link.

There have been very, very few safe forced landing areas on or near the lake, for quite a few decades. Not a good place to try to ‘alight’, even for an amphibian: https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/20...-fails/6380664

Great photo story re WRA. Thanks Leady.

Pretty impressive in this day and age, that not a single photo, video clip etc of the aircraft parked out bush, has escaped into the wild. Anyone know, has it been recovered yet?

Food poisoning ie he really needed to dump a load and couldn't focus on flying the plane?
Anything to keep pilots out of the air and our skies safe. |
Involuntary sphincter? Now, in some circles that may well be greeted with much enthusiasm.
