Flying out of/into Archerfield? Would be VH registered?

 

Good job.. looks pretty built up around there

 

 

[Bandit12]

I think it was 24-7984, just caught it on Channel 9.

 

 

[Geoff13]

There is a school at Archerfield doing RA AUS.

 

 

[davebutler]

It looks like Jabbie. There are some RA-Aus registered Jabbies operated by a flying school at YBAF. If it is 1 from the flying school this will be the second one with an engine out.

 

I also saw a private owned Jabbie parked at AF the other day.

 

Glad all are OK, good outcome, excellent flying getting in that spot:score 010:

 

I see our esteemed, well informed media are reporting it as a Cessna... again:angry:

 

 

[facthunter]

From the Cess pool of their aviation minds. Nev

 

 

[quentas]

Calling it a Cessna takes the heat off maybe? Glad they are ok.

 

 

[fly_tornado]

Be interesting to see if Jab can fix that and get it flying again, major damage.

 

 

 

[ave8rr]

Again its good see the "Jab" fuselage is intact. They certainly are strong in that area. Glad both occupants are ok.

 

We await the reason for the forced landing.

 

 

[NovemberFoxtrot]

Its the same plane that had the engine failure at victoria point a few months/ a year ago. And yes, its out of the RA-AUS school at Archerfield.

[fly_tornado]

I knew it would buff out.

 

 

[winsor68]

Jabiru has a great crash test program.

 

Can't argue they are best in class in that regard.

 

 

[geoffreywh]

but who is the crash test dummy?

 

 

[gareth lacey]

i have flown this plane many times

 

 

[fly_tornado]

Be interesting to hear what brought it down, surely they replaced the engine after the last "off field landing"

 

 

[dan3111]

The pilot did a good job and walked away which is the best out come for every one every impressed i wish all reports where like that , I have see jab,s a lot worse then that repaired at the factory . On a brighter note It is the first jab i has seen score a goal

 

safe flying every body

 

cheers dan

 

 

[deadstick]

looks like the wing 50 meters behind it wrapped around an old tree

 

 

[dan3111]

that,s the goal post

 

 

[Bandit12]

Curiously, the more pictures of Jabs after forced landings, the more I am impressed with their fuselage design. Not sure I would be wanting to fork out the costs of engines that aren't making time regularly, but from the perspective of survivability, it looks like there isn't much better.

 

 

[Geoff13]

I think they would be more survivable if they didnt seem to have the engines die so often.

 

I am not saying this was an engine but with everyone saying how strong they are I. Would just as soon be in a plane that didnt prove that every few weeks or so.

 

 

[Guernsey]

Better to survive five crashes in a Jab than die once in another aircraft???? .

 

Alan.

 

 

[fly_tornado]

Don't ATSM standards dictate a crash survivability standard?

 

 

[bexrbetter]

Better to survive five crashes in a Jab than die once in another aircraft???? .Alan.

I would choose 'C'.

 

 

[Oscar]

That was some seriously good decision-making and flying, I reckon - I just measured that entire field on Google Earth and it's a bit over 450 metres at the longest axis with mature trees all around, lots of power lines, and just nowhere else to go.
