Forced LandingMt Mulligan

another great effort to keep things intact.


"This morning Rescue 510 was tasked by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority for a 'MAYDAY' call from a light aircraft, that suffered an engine failure during flight. The aircraft was tracked through its emergency beacon, and found along a small fence line North of Mount Mulligan, where the pilot had safely made an Emergency Landing. The 2 persons on board were luckily unharmed, and the aircraft in one piece. Rescue 471 also provided an over watch for the operation."

Nicely done!

Looks like a Jabiru?

A "GREAT EFFORT" I would say, seeing the surrounding 'tiger country' and the view of the fence line....

Well Done that Man! (Person...just in case...)

Cheers

No Tank. It isn't a Jabiru. It isn't, and wasn't, powered by Jabiru. It doesn't look like a Jabiru.
Jeez, I've had a gutful. I have thousands of hours in Jabs, including a couple of hours in the Victorian alps today.
I'd put a current Jab powerplant up against anything with a piston engine.
Cheers.

You have good eyesight R755, all I see is a small white high wing tricycle undercarriage lighty.
Not my area of expertise!

Glad you like Jabs, wouldn't be able to pay me enough to fly through the Vic Alps in one.

Ha ha, Tank. "small white high wing tricycle undercarriage lighty"

Obviously described an Airvan.....or a Tecnam.....or a CT.....or a tri-gear Maule.

It's ok. We all have our own ideas and judgements about the various types.

Well what is it then, please, R755?
I have no prejudice re Jabs, but it looks like one to me - from that pic.

In truth, I don't know. I just wanted to annoy Tankengine.... Te He te he

I think it might be a Foxcon Terrier. Note the wing tips and wing planform. That would indicate Suburu power.

Is this a dinkum photo? No shadow. On a an enlargement it looks like a rough Photoshop job.

It's a JPEG so enlarging it sufficiently will always look bad.

So, at risk of annoying any more idiots, is it a Jabiru?

A simple search shows that the "incident" was only reported by 'Ultralights' on this thread.

A bit early for April 1st.

Didn't look very far then did you Gerry - confirmed over at the congregation of the half-baked that it is a Terrier with a Subaru providing motivation - or not as the case may be.

I'm always happy to apologise when I'm wrong.

Thanks 'Ultralights' for providing the link.

I sincerely apologise for doubting your word.

(Note to myself: Always first check fac#book..)
