The SMH reported that an airport spokesman stated the cause of this incident was "Pilot Error" in this morning's edition. Very early to make this assessment - is there any evidence to support this?
I hate it when they jump on this sort of stuff.

CLS, apparently appeared to be climbing normally then encountered a wing drop....so obviously stalled. Glad to see everyones ok and surprisingly enough the cabin looks relatively undamaged. Could have been a lot worse.

I am currently looking at the article in the SMH on Monday. It does indeed say "engine failure". However it goes on to note that an airport spokesman said it was pilot error - as per my earlier post.

Poor old Basair!?! I'm told they had 9 incidents last year including a very serious BE76 prang during training - also directly attributed to pilot error (stupidity).
Found the article and reproduced below. Occupants are very fortunate indeed.

On the nose: plane's narrow escape
By Jordan Baker
September 12, 2005
Three men on board a light aircraft escaped without injury when their plane hit a fence, flipped and then collided with a parked car at Bankstown Airport yesterday.
The men, in their mid-20s, were pulled from the Cessna, which ended up nose down, by people in a nearby hangar.
Phil Onis, director of Sydney Skydiving, heard a bang and rushed to help the men on board, who had just taken off for an afternoon flight over Sydney. "They bounced a couple of times and went through a fence and ended up nose down on top of a car," he said. "They just said they had an engine failure."
When asked if they had bruises and scratches, he said: "Not even that. It was just a bit of shock, they were OK. There was fuel leakage but we sprayed a bit of foam around; we had the fire hose ready. They were very lucky."
One witness, Mark Byatt, told Channel Nine: "Our back was turned to it, we were running, obviously. We were right in the path of it."
An airport spokesman said pilot error was to blame.
Ambulance officers were called to the airport but the men did not need to be taken to hospital.
Air safety officials were investigating the incident, which occurred near a control tower at about 3.50pm, police said.

From time past in YSBK this company is a joke. It seems Money Money Money is what its all about. The training seems to be at a average standard and the instructors do well within there confines. But where things are lacking is the supervision of students and junior instructors. I have in the past recommended that people to go learn elsewhere. Having watched one of there aircraft stall over a runway and spud in from 100ft I am not impressed at all, considering this was a student with a grade 2 at the controlsin nil wind cavok conditions. This latest incident has still to have the reason why investigated and well done to the PIC if it was a genuine failure. You did well when the outlook looks bad.

If this
is true, then they did well.
But why don't we wait until this
is complete until we start pointing fingers.
Oh, that's right, we don't have to because Barry Blimp from the BAC said
"...said they had an engine failure."
