[Guest Fred Bear]

A Cessna has made an emergency landing just near our house here. Seems all occupants are ok.

Would that be the 4 seater aircraft " crashing " near Bringelly as being reported on Sydney radio .

Dave,

 

From another forum.

I flew over the top, looked like they were ok from the air apart from being surrounded by about 40 very curious cows. Could see both people walking and they sounded ok on 124.55. 100% a C152, MFG. They reported "engine trouble" around 5:15pm then shortly after a mayday. They called from the ground saying they were both alright. Aircraft appeared to be all in 1 piece.

Brucs' info is right Dave.Good result this time and yes,good thing they did not make it into that pond!:yuk:

 

Pilots escape injury in emergency landing - Bringelly

 

8 May 2007

 

Two men have had a lucky escape after they were forced to make an emergency landing when their light plane experienced engine trouble over Camden, on Sydney’s south-western outskirts.

 

The 22-year-old trainee pilot and his 38-year-old instructor were forced to land the two-seater Cessna 152 aircraft in a paddock on The Northern Road at Bringelly about 5.40pm yesterday (Monday 7 May), after it lost power.

 

The plane landed safely and the pair was uninjured in the incident.

 

Emergency services personnel attended the scene a short time later.

 

Police from Camden Local Area Command are continuing their inquiries into the incident.

 

Air Transport Safety Bureau officials will also conduct their own investigation.

Yes, who would know. Hopefully for his sake :confused:

The word I heard via the refuelling agent at Bankstown was that the aircraft had too much air in its fuel tanks.
