ATSB report here:- Investigation: AO-2016-118 - Loss of control involving Air Tractor AT-502, VH-ULV, near Esperance Airport, WA, on 10 September 2016

 

Briefly:-

 

At about 1000 Western Standard Time on 10 September 2016, an Air Tractor AT-502 aircraft, registered VH‑ULV, was conducting aerial agricultural spraying activities at Salmon Gums, near Esperance, West Australia. During a turn at about 200 ft above the ground, the pilot lost control and the aircraft collided with terrain. The aircraft was substantially damaged and the pilot sustained serious injuries.

 

Preliminary enquiries by the ATSB suggest that the accident was attributable to pilot actions. The ATSB considered it was very unlikely that further investigation would uncover any systemic safety issues. The ATSB has discontinued the investigation.

On Saturday the 5th of November 2016 the Wilhelmi family was changed forever.

 

The loss of Troy Wilhemi has shocked family, friends, work colleagues and the community. Tragically Troy was killed in an unforeseen aeroplane accident while crop dusting. He has left behind his wife Simone and their adoring 8 children, with a newborn 9 week old baby. He was the 'sole bread winner' for the whole family. The money will be used to assist with paying off the family's mortgage and to help with the children's education fund.

Old Pilot - the initial discussion on this forum is here walget plane accident

 

The discussion on pprune forum doesn't add anything of substance.

 

Unless you can find someone who witnessed the accident, then we will have to wait for the ATSB report to finalise, or the coroner's report - usually not available to the public, but would be available to the next of kin and probably a year away.
