pmccarthy Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Oh sh... this is just too many too often. 1
BackcountryAeropup Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Oh sh... this is just too many too often. Couldn't agree more.
alf jessup Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Road tolls are worse. Just sayin. Hope the outcome is good but not sounding like it.
kgwilson Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Debris has been recovered from the water this morning off Moreton Island but it has yet to be confirmed it is from the missing aircraft.
BirdDog Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Man... Seems almost one every other week. ? Sad.
bluebird121 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 I am so sorry to hear about this and send my sincere condolences to all the families and friends... I watch the planes take off from Caloundra whether they are for pleasure or training or sky diving or aerobatics. I enjoy seeing them fly over the Passage.. I'm not a pilot although I have enjoyed a few fights when I was in Scotland at Cumbernauld.. To cure me of my fear of flying in the passenger planes.. It did the trick..

kgwilson Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 A 1978 Cessna 182Q, VH -WNR. As far as I know there was no severe weather at the time. The call was calm & collected but it would appear only seconds from disaster. The debris was spread over a wide area according to reports indicating a high speed impact. A mechanical failure of some type perhaps.

BirdDog Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 A 1978 Cessna 182Q, VH -WNR. As far as I know there was no severe weather at the time. The call was calm & collected but it would appear only seconds from disaster. The debris was spread over a wide area according to reports indicating a high speed impact. A mechanical failure of some type perhaps. Water will take debris everywhere. Even at a slow glide it would be above 70kts or so... so anything is going to be high speed I guess. ? Sad again - just too many. 1
JEM Posted January 23, 2020 Author Posted January 23, 2020 A Cessna 182P rego VH WNR was destroyed in a crash near archerfield on 8/8/2006. (ATSB report 200604514). Was this new accident to a replacement aircraft?
JG3 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Being so close to Brisbane International there might be a radar track??
dan3111 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 I looked up the radar loop history at the rough time of 4.20 pm Tuesday and there was a big lot of storm rain cells come thought that beach area right at the some time . I would have cloud to the ground at that point . 1
onetrack Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Police divers have found the wreckage of the Cessna in 36M of water, N of Moreton Island,, but there's no sign of the bodies of the pilot and passenger. I'm guessing the aircraft broke up substantially on impact, and the bodies were flung out. I don't know what the chances are of finding the bodies, more than a week after the crash. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-29/police-divers-locate-plane-wreckage-off-moreton-island/11911588
BackcountryAeropup Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Don't quote me on this but I heard on the radio yesterday or the day before a woman's body was found washed up somewhere like Harvey bay. 1
onetrack Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Your news item was correct, but I doubt very much it would have been the woman passenger from the Cessna. I'd have to hazard a guess it was more likely a drowning at a Hervey Bay beach. https://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/news/womans-body-found-at-hervey-bay-beach-in-queensland/news-story/fdd908bce769632561636303546fe617
bluebird121 Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I'm so sorry to hear they found wreckage but no bodies yet.. Thanks for informing me..
flying dog Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Though a sore point, maybe it will be so much better when all aircraft have ADSB in them. Then ATC can track the craft so much quicker and easier.
FlyBoy1960 Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 The current direction is wrong to go to Hervey Bay, the current along the coast in summer is southerly. 1
Griffon Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 https://www.atsb.gov.au/media/news-items/2020/focus-on-data-and-components/?fbclid=IwAR02TA848dKDwUHrCbKFHJVidudwBA3HxEVB1-XBb6EYkOPuaDOvBA68pe8 More questions than answers at this stage. First amongst these being, what was he doing descending while heading out to sea? Most people climb to just under the step to cross the bay there, which gives you the option of gliding clear other than for a shortish section in the middle. One other thing, Dan111, the accident happened on Wednesday 22/01 and the relevant radar loop shows no signs of bad weather.
