Victa 115 Airtourer, Lismore, NSW, VH-CNE, 1 June 1970
Investigation number:
197001281
197001281
Status: Completed

Summary
The student pilot satisfactorily completed two normal circuits and landings and one short field landing
in calm, clear conditions. He made an approach for a second short field landing but as the aircraft
neared the aerodrome boundary fence on short final, the stall warning sounded. The pilot states that he
applied power, but the port wing dropped sharply and struck a fence post 107 feet to the left of the
runway centre line and just short of the threshold. The aircraft pitched forward onto its nosewheel and
propeller, tearing off the yoke and nosewheel and then the starboard undercarriage strut and mainwheel
as it rolled in that direction. It slewed on the starboard mainplane in an anti-clockwise direction before
it came to a stop on a reciprocal heading.
