FWIW:-
"Recreational Aviation Australia (RAAus) wishes to advise members that a Pipistrel Virus SW100 aircraft, registration number 24-8190, was involved in an accident on Sunday 5 April 2020 at Heck Field (Jacobs Well) in Queensland."
"One occupant of the aircraft was sadly killed in the accident and the other is in serious condition in hospital suffering from burns due to a post-impact fire. RAAus extends its deepest sympathies to family, friends and the aviation community."
"The aircraft took off from Heck Field airport, Qld that morning to conduct circuits. The aircraft impacted an NBN line and trees approximately 800m to the east of the runway and caught fire. RAAus accident investigators are working with Queensland Police and preparing a written report for the coroner."
"RAAus provides specialised subject matter expertise to assist Police when investigating accidents of this nature. Areas of investigation typically include environmental, mechanical and operational factors. At this stage there are no indications of an immediate safety issue relative to the aircraft type and RAAus will advise members if any safety related issues are identified."
Only members ? A fatal crash and a fire? Perhaps more than just 'their members' may be interested, as the RA Oz death toll mounts.
