Lizard Island - Aircraft Overshoot.
My local radio station reporting an aircraft with 9 POB has overshot the runway at Lizard Is. QLD.
RFDS attending. Substantial 'drop' at the N end....... Nil other info as yet - type etc unknown....but, knowing these 'channels'....not for long. |
Looks like a caravan. Part of CH9 eloquent report " A photograph obtained by 9News showed the single propeller plane upside down in low brush and sand, with the fuselage shredded and pieces of debris nearby.
The badly mangled plane, with its propellers busted off, was cordoned off by emergency tape." :rolleyes: |

Cheeerrrsss... |

Apparently the pilot did an incredible job. Take that however you please I guess!

Channel 10 news in Sydney is reporting the aircraft had engine trouble.

Was there a problem soon after departing which required a return to land

Based on what I've read in the media, it's obvious none of them have any idea what might have happened.... but that doesn't stop them making something up!

7 News ( yeah, I know..) said it was an engine failure on/after takeoff, pilot did a 180 to return but ended up 100m short of the
strip, and then impacted vegetation, causing it to flip over. Very glad to see they all made it out. |
You seemed surprised by that?!?!?

Any further info on this incident? Looks like a bit of a mess tbh.
|
Is there a definitive version of what happened yet?

RNR ignore Ducks stupid infantile reply. I’m interested in this as its a PT6 failure either on take off or shortly after departing the circuit. A few minutes later they could of all been in the water
