Most private drones, even the bigger ones would be blown out of the way or flicked off by an RPT aircraft; more information needed.

True, but the track and heights of this VH registered aircraft don't indicate aerobatics, but the common killer; sighteeing and/or getting photos of homesteads. The aircraft is flown low - 500 feet agl is a good height for a standard camera lense.....and also the minimum legal flight level, and most people about to take photos are not focused on a suitable height for a stall. The pilot starts out with a shallow enough turn but the person with the camera is shouting "CLOSER!" "CLOSER!!!" "Stay there!, I've just about got it!" and the pilot gets tighter and tighter until the aircraft lets go. I'm not saying this is what's happened here and with ATSB investigating, their decision will be based on a lot more actual evidence, but I don't see any evidence here of beat ups straight over the houses or aerobatic displays, just multiple turns above the properties which I've done lots of times. It's normal to rev the engine or give some other pre-arranged signal, because people on the land are prone to saying afterwards that they didn't see you, and "Oh yeah a plane went over the house about that time." If you want to avoid a similar accident to this, don't do the circling bit, come straight in towards the property, offset so the person with the camera can get a good shot, climb out. That was you have a clean, stable 500 - 600' camera pass and your turns are similar to circuit turns. Passenger needs a shot from another angle? From your shallow turn at higher altitude drop down to camera height and fly another straight line towards the new view requested. Another way to avoid this is what I do - hire an Instructor and do a 15 minute brief before the flight: the Instructor is in the LH Seat, he/she is PIC at all times and responsible for height, other traffic etc. I point to where I want to shoot once we descend to photo level, and it's optional for the PIC to abort. We then just fly on and come come round in a cloverleaf for a second attempt. In a pre-planned 1 hour flight I get roughly 40 good shots, a few fuzzy ones, and about three go rounds resulting in good shots. We haven't spoken over the photo area and when we land the Instructor is happy and I'm happy.

.......talk of the DG Pub when he clean missed the red bunny, who walked in shortly after, glowering and ordering a bottle of Glenfiddoch which he proceeded to down a glass at a time as he told anyone who cared that someone had tried to shoot him. "Well you look like a rabbit in that red gear", an old man who hadn't recognised him drawled, and Dan threw his glass at him, missing and collecting CT on the nose, which started to bleed profusely. CT threw a blood-soaked chair at Dan which bruised him on the coxic. Mrs Dan, waiting outside in the car listening to gaelic music, heard the noise and rushed in, belting the old man with a knock out blow. Skye, the barmaid who had arms as big as Dan's thighs belted Mrs Dan in the face, disfiguring her. Dan, with lightning speed dropped one on Skye, but Skye had been faster and had him securely by the nuts. "Do you kow who I am!!!!" screamed Dan, but CT chuckled and said "Brer Rabbit?" At this stage the local Highway Patrol, standing in for Protective Services rolled in and started arresting people. Sergeant Doubtfire immediately sided with Skye after getting the secret signal. Constable Alastair Pritchard from Wangaratta recognised Dan and sided with him, switching off his body cam and wading into the old man and Skye, who nonchalantly grabbed his nuts with the other hand and started doing the stomp on the dance floor. Mrs Dan went for Sky'e eyes, an unprovoked assault, an an old woman from Craigieburn knocked her out with her gin bottle. In the Court hearing afterwards Dan gave evidence that they'd just dropped in for a counter tea, had a great time listening to the band and enjoyed the meat pies. Mrs Dan complimented the hotel on the wonderful floral arrangements. But the old man laid charges and .........

In the material in the link I supplied it explains how the throttle is opened by vacuum createwd by your throttle demand (accelerator pedal in off-road vehicles, hand throttle on snowmobiles and jetskis, and throttle lever on aircraft. If you're descending to land and meet wind shear (I've done it twice) immediate wide open throttle is required to stop you sinking into the ground. Both my times were with the Bing carb, so the vacuum is fast enough for hand throttle with the vaccuum system in correct specification in the carb. On the other had I had one on a 450cc engine that defied all efforts to stop that fluffy fail in mid range and I replaced it.

tks

No, Bing call the three stages Idle Range, Mid Range, Full throttle. The needle usually plays the most important part in Mid Range so coming into Full throttle range where jet size plays the most important part, the engine should be clearing if it is fluffy in Mid Range. This explains the sequence: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://electricmotorglider.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/CV-Carb-Web.pdf

......advantage they have is taking off from a standing start and going like a cut snake. Turbo did what he had to do; he swallowed a pyrrolizidine alkaloids pill, threaded his belt through the encabulator mounting and was soon flying [avref] at a handy five metres out of reach of the hordes of four wheelers, some of which had already started to seize engines. Flying over a nearby hill, Turbo saw an airport and there sitting on the runway .........

I don't dismiss non-RAA accidents. because they cover long distance cross-country, busy airports more complex equipment, but I don't broadcast them to people who are just learning to fly every basic aircraft over short distances and will never encounter the issues in this area. No point in making people depressed about a lot of fatalities from things they will never e.cncounter.

Sure I see them, but I drill down to the categories to get like-for-like so it relates to RA aircraft, not some very complicated flight relating to IFR or a very complicated aircraft.

Well put it this way the base load of RA fatalies about ten years ago was about 12 people per year. If you are hearing of more than 12 per year in RA Australia, then its time for RAA t step up and take action.

...a Rotax for the first time doesn't sound like a normal aircraft, and the noises may have been revving the engine over the farms which is a fairly common occurrance to alert the people inside the house.

Only because people have been reporting GA accidents, RPT accidents, Military accidents, and accidents from all over the world in countries with vastly different standards and regulations compared to Australia. Although RA don't seem to be reported as well as they used to be, and people don't see every Australian newspaper report on RA accidents, the RA fatalities still seem to be much lower than the 10 per year average of about ten years ago.

.......go into a pub where people on the land congregate and we're wearing crow feathers, they're more likely to give us a dose of BBs. Ever mindful of the time at the Gumly Gumply pub where he was chased down the road by cockys on 4 wheelers for releasing an expletive about waste grain on the sides of the road which he'd slipped on in the Land Cruiser, Cappy went out and shot four Wedge Tails, skun them, and was soon prancing around looking like Poking Honters. The four wheelers were lined up for a hundred metres, but this time he'd parked his Drifter with the Encabulator around the corner. It didn't take long ...........

George may have suffered the Pattersons Curse problem where people come back to life and start becoming younger and just where they're getting into it they start fallig over and going to sleep and becoming in the continent and stuff, and the Bros don't like that, so Cappy, a resourcefull fellow set about finding a herb which would clear George's affliction. Almost immediately .........

.......start a long-term resort rental business called Shangrila. The aim is to secure not the brash types who climbed the mountain on credit using crampons and ropes from chain stores, but the early explorers who may have had 250 pounds in the bank when they died, which has now compounded to six billion AU$. These people can afford the nightly fee for the best views in the resort and everyone's happy. Surprisingly this venture was started by OT who we would have thought wouldn't know a lot about extreme cold or a clean, sand-free climate, and it wouldn't be surprising to find that OT dusts the residents off once a day. The resort has also attracted .........

Cappy fainted, the Jeep ............ Not many people know that George Mallory went missing with his fellow climber in 1924. They were believed (and still are in England), to have been the first to conquer Everest and were found years later on The North Face by a party of duck hunters. Even less people know that Cappy used the name to found a Company called The North Face which makes mountain climbing clothes based on Cappy's mountain climbing experience which is cleaning the leaves out of his gutters according to his wife Ethel.

Not many people know that the British Army, fighting in the Khyber Pass bought 500 war service US Army Jeeps because (a) the US hadn't been able to sell them, even at US$50.00 because everyone was buying Toyota Land Cruisers and (b) because the Khybers would sneak through the lines at night and steal any Land Rover starter motors because there were no spare parts. The Jeeps, unlike today's SUVs which don't even have Low Range because no one knows how to use it anyway, could go anywhere. Once on a weekend furlough from the fighting a Gurkha invited Cappy home. The Jeep climbed up into the mountains and through bogs effortlessly. After dropping off the Gurkha at his home they decided to continue up the mountains. There were Bengal tigers drinking from mountain streams unworried by the Jeep's presence, Dak Runners everywhere delivering the mail a letter at a time. The view kept getting better and better and eventually they reached the top of a mountain. "Someone's been here recently" shouted Cappy. Carved in the summit were the names "Ed Hillary" and "Tensing Norgay". After a quick meal of Energy Chocolate, they started driving back down. Brakes were not the strong point of the Willys Jeep and ............

Get about a metre of 1/2" plastic tube; put one end up to your ear and poke the other end around the likely sources. This will localise the sound pick-up from surrounding noise, and you should be able to identify the exact area.
