With insufficient height and speed to reach the runway, the pilot force landed the aircraft into wooded bushland within the airport precinct, approximately 150 m short of a cleared area in the undershoot of runway 30. The aircraft was substantially damaged by impact with trees. The occupants exited the aircraft with only a minor injury to one passenger.
What the ATSB found
The ATSB found no mechanical defects or fuel supply anomalies that would have prevented normal engine operation. The evidence for carburettor icing was equivocal and therefore, could not be ruled out as a contributing factor. No other likely contributing factors were identified.
It was also found that the pilot did not ensure all of the available procedures for an engine power loss and power-off landing were followed, which resulted in reduced gliding performance and a higher-than-necessary landing speed.
The pilot had not completed a flight review in the 2 years prior to the occurrence, increasing the operational risks including the response to emergency situations.
