Ahem!

And, I do apologise for interrupting here – but, it seems 'passing strange'

“The ATSB's initial investigations had uncovered that the crashed aircraft was flying in a pattern consistent with a touch-and-go at a landing area near Carcoar before it crashed.”

That aircraft is pointing which way?

The reciprocal of '07' is (070+180)=250°. It may have finished up pointing a tad South of that – rough calculation 210 :: ish.

So what is the 'picture' trying to say'?  Was the aircraft trying to reach runway 07 and land on 25. The 'Met' data indicated 'light wind' so a downwind landing with an emergency was a playable lay.



“Less than 10 seconds later, the witness heard the plane hit the bank of the small dam, which was on rising terrain about 600 metres beyond the runway.”

Runway 07? WTD – to be that low at 600 meters from the threshold of runway 25 speaks of something going wrong. Once again an experienced instructor an almost 'commercial' pilot and in fine weather, on a calm day, they bump into a dam? Bullshit.. and BOLLOCKS.......

“A student pilot and her instructor were killed when their two-seat light aircraft slammed into a small dam in central NSW on November 4, 2020.” - Costin.


But - WHY????????

Nowhere near good enough, quick enough, informative enough; or, even accurate enough from the Hooded bird cage -  is it. Time to muck out the bird gage methinks.
