STATUS: Under review OCCURRENCE DETAILS SUBMITTED TO RAAUS: At the completion of a 1 hour local flight 3 touch and go circuits on runway 08 were performed at the completion of which the passenger suggested one more circuit. As there was no wind the pilot changed to runway 26 and after completing pre take-off checks the take-off roll was commenced. The aircraft accelerated and initially climbed well. At approx. 50 feet the engine came to a very abrupt stop without warning. On lowering the nose the appearance of the remaining runway seemed insufficient but after very heavy application of brakes the aircraft came to a stop approx. 15 meters from the end of the runway. No damaged occurred to the aircraft or occupants

STATUS: Review completed OCCURRENCE DETAILS SUBMITTED TO RAAus: The pilot in a STOL aircraft joined the circuit downwind at 45 degrees at a busy airport whihc included parachute operations and didn't hear the downwind call from a faster Piper aircraft (30 knots speed difference). The pilot heard another downwind call from the Piper aircraft, made a right-hand orbit away from the runway and the Piper passed by continuing the downwind leg. The pilot estimated the Piper was 600 metres apart and 200 ft below the STOL aircraft at the outside of the orbit. Turning onto base pilot of the STOL was closer to the runway than the Piper (that had a larger circuit pattern) and the Piper offered to go around to reduce the increasing congestion on base as there was another aircraft on downwind as well. The STOL pilot was going to move away from the runway to allow more distance from the Piper but from where the Piper was, they said that this may cause a conflict with the other aircraft on downwind, and they elected to go around. On base the Piper and STOL were clear of each other. The pilot of the STOL aircraft noted their usual procedure was to join mid-crosswind and in the future they would wait for parachute operations to be completed prior to joining circuit.

STATUS: Under review OCCURRENCE DETAILS SUBMITTED TO RAAUS: While conducting circuits for approx. 0.7 hrs and having commenced base leg turn with reduced power, fuel pump and carby heat on, and first stage of flaps the engine began running rough. The pilot suspected carby icing, applied full power while turning towards runway threshold. The communicated to other aircraft in circuit that they had an engine running rough and that they were deviating from circuit to runway. No increase in power, reduced throttle and under partial power completed landing. The engine remained running rough on roll out then stopped. The pilot communicated they were stationary on runway, then made a single attempt to restart engine using choke with no success. They then shut the engine down and pushed the aircraft off the runway. Fuel was noted to be dripping out from under lower cowl.

STATUS: Review complete. OCCURRENCE DETAILS SUBMITTED TO RAAUS: The aircraft was backtracking down runway 27 when it was caught in a gust of wind in which altered the aircraft direction of travel. The pilot was unable to correct the deviation of travel in time before it left the side of runway 27 and to stop in soft grass beside the runway.

STATUS: Review complete EXTRACT FROM REPORT SUBMISSION: The PIC thought there might have been smoke in cabin, however the heater was activated and had not been in use before. The smell was coming from it.

STATUS: Under review OCCURRENCE DETAILS SUBMITTED TO RAAUS: The aircraft departed Gympie AFLD about 10 minutes before intending to track to Warwick to refuel before continuing to home location in NSW. Just trimmed for cruise at 2500' to assess nav settings and level. The pilot noticed a slight drop in altitude and thought the throttle might be loose. It was not loose, no response. All Ts and Ps looked ok. Then the prop stopped. A restart was attempted but the starter did not budge. The stopped prop was indicating an engine seizure. The pilot contacted another aircraft on 121.5 passed on their information and situation. They indicated they had ADS-B out for further accuracy as they were too busy looking for set down field to take eyes off the airspeed indicator and terrain. Set best glide speed. The pilot saw an airstrip below, but surrounding trees and orientation looked more risky than surrounding paddocks. An adjacent paddock was clear and attainable but on finals the pilot noticed it appeared to full of livestock, so they turned for paddock beside nearby house noting fences across landing path. Committed below 200' AGL had to avoid fences. 1 notch of flaps on base turn at 100'. Full flap near last fence with enough energy for slight clearance over fence. The aircraft immediately drop onto mainwheels on the downhill slope. Soft ground pulled up the landing roll to less than 35 metres. Nosewheel settled and dug into the soft ground tipping the aircraft onto its nose. It almost balanced there and stopped, then fell onto its roof. The only minor injury to the pilot at that point was a bump on the head on the Perspex skylight above (now below). The pilot lowered themselves onto roof inverted as seat belt undone and opened undamaged door to egress.
