REPCON contacted CASA to clarify if the unique situation at Jurien Bay had been taken into consideration, and to clarify, as reported by Airservices Australia, if new consultations had taken place. CASA have advised that the establishment of a Danger Area at Jurien Bay is not supported.

This report was forwarded to the Model Aeronautical Association of Australia for their information.

The ATSB has been advised by the operator that this procedure has been withdrawn.

If the landing gear mount had failed during a charter flight resulting in minor damage to the aircraft this would be a routinely reportable matter in accordance with the Transport Safety Investigation Regulations 2003 2.4 (1) (b). The operator has stated that the landing gear mount failed during a private flight with minor damage, which is not a reportable matter under the Transport Safety Investigation Regulations 2003.
