Easter Prangs - Perth's B200 - Melbourne's C152 - Ultralights x 2 - One Fatality

April 11  2007
OZ news media continue to be enthralled by light aircraft incidents and accidents especially over the Easter break

Two days ago it was an emergency wheels-up landing of a Beech B200 Super King Air at Perth Airport and to-day it's a Royal Victorian Aero Club's 2-seat Cessna C152 trainer that had emergency landing on the prestigious Capital Golf Course fairway number 12 which just happens to be right next door to Melbourne's Moorabbin airport

 
And 2-days earlier two ultralights were featured - one involved a fatality when the 72 year-old pilot of a single-seat Sapphire apparently encountered a medical condition and crashed on his way the the OZ Ultralight Federation's Annual Easter Fly-in at Narromine in central west NSW

The pilot of the second ultralight was uninjured when the engine of his machine failed on short final at Beauty Point near Devonport in northern Tasmania and "clipped a fence"
