The ATSB has commenced an investigation into a collision with a kangaroo during landing, involving a Fairchild SA227, VH-HPE, at Thangool Airport, Queensland on 1 September 2015.

 

During the landing roll, the aircraft struck a kangaroo, resulting in damage to the right engine and propeller.

 

As part of the investigation, the ATSB will interview the pilot, the airport operator and obtain an operator’s report. A report is expected within several months.

ATSB should be interviewing the Roo

 

They would get the answer quicker.

Well, ring up the ATSB and tell 'em to 'hop to it' and get their report completed. Sorry

We don't want them jumping to conclusions.

Yes...they shouldn't 'skip' that important step.

You are so callous you lot, no one asked about the welfare of the Roo. Maybe you all thought that it was best to skip that issue. Please don't jump on the site now and ask how the Roo is, did you know that it was on holidays at Thangool visiting relatives but now it has had to take it's holidays all over the district, after the prop hit it.

so now the roo is soup? You'd want to strain it, make sure there's no bits of prop in it.

The runway is now Roo Tared.

How old are those metro's now. Must be 40 years or more. Should have said Hoo roo to them by now. Nev
