Some of you may know my ex-wife.
She had started taking flying lessons about the time our seperation started (2001)
She got her license shortly before our divorce was settled (2003)
Yesterday afternoon, she narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was piloting when she was forced to make an emergency landing in Kalgoorlie because of bad weather.
Some could call it a crash; an accident at the least.
Our kids live with me so no worries there.
National Transportation Safety Board officials have issued a preliminary determination citing pilot error contributed to the accident, and
She was flying a single engine aircraft (a basic model, at best)
in IFR (instrument flight rating) conditions while only having obtained a VFR (visual flight rules) plan.
The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board.
No one on the ground was injured.
The photograph below was taken at the scene show the extent of damage to her aircraft.
