Kyle Communications Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Just saw it on CH 9 news...I think that is one of the 2 that are at Ycab
Guest ozzie Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Just see a 24 prefix on it so why the investigation?
biggles Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Just see a 24 prefix on it so why the investigation? RAAus investigate cases of structural failure also . Bob 1 1
Kyle Communications Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I think it was 19-7700 or something like that It flashed on the 9 news 1
Guest bluespot Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Look at at the photo -- it is 24 Look at the video -- Mark is right about the suffix 770x where x is not 0
Camel Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Looks like one on cover of Sport Pilot April 2013.
facthunter Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Water is pretty hard when you slap a plane against it. There's hardly any can take waves of any size. or a mistake...Nev 1
Guest Maj Millard Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Just see a 24 prefix on it so why the investigation? 24 is factory built...why wouldn't it be investigated ?.
Guest Maj Millard Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 There has been another incident in the Whitsundays with a Seamax involving a tail area structure failure a couple of years back, also a lucky escape. Aircraft was sent back to the factory for repairs and the owner is still awaiting its return. The company has since been sold to a US based concern ?.....I agree with Nev..there is a level of skill required for water landings , water being just as hard as dirt at speed. More details needed on this one but it would be entirely possible to incur that sort of damage if handed incorrectly.
Guest ozzie Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 24 is factory built...why wouldn't it be investigated ?. not an atsb investigation i assume?
Guest Maj Millard Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 not an atsb investigation i assume? Don't know Steve...ATSB can investigate anything they choose including RAA if they wish.
planedriver Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 All's well that ends well, though the bank manager may not always agree.
Downunder Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Lucky to get the ATSB to investigate a fatality........ Strange if they show this more than passing interest in this...... 1
