It seems the ATSB are calling this a "forced/precautionary landing":

That can't be right.. All the news agencies are saying it's a runway overshoot.. Clearly ATSB must have their memos wrong.. :P

MEGAN,
I have seen that one.There are also a couple of guys who have skydived from one aeroplane to another without a chute. |
The only people we ever strapped in were observation riders (for obvious reasons) we just used to have everyone come forward on takeoff (in a 182) then sit back down once the climb was established I think the sport has changed a lot though. It used to be a 182 in a field with no facilities and now it's become a lot like skiing with purpose built airports flying "real" aircraft, food for sale, air conditioned packing areas ... and wind tunels. Took some of the fun out of it really :} |

a 172? now that's pushing it a bit! Was that one at a time? :E
We landed it in a field, took the right hand door off and removed all the seats apart from the pilots. Two bods in the back and one in the front, sat with their back to the controls. Banking right was interesting. Still remember standing with my left foot on the wheel, holding the strut. If you had upset the pilot he took the parking brake off and you were away. Different times I guess. |

Ya gotta love that. What could possibly go wrong?
A skydiver has jumped without a ‘chute and landed in a net. A wingsuiter has jumped without a ‘chute and landed on a massive stack/line of cardboard boxes (really!) (Edit: I believe he did wear a parachute as a back up, but landed without deploying it…) A skydiver has jumped, with a ‘chute for safety that was not released, from one aircraft into another aircraft. Two pilot/skydivers have each jumped, with ‘chutes, from separate aircraft (leaving those aircraft with no-one on board), and attempted to enter the other aircraft and take control (one achieved it, the other did not, landed under his ‘chute, and the aircraft crashed, empty). But, as far as I know, no-one has yet jumped from one aircraft to another without a back-up ‘chute. |
