STATUS: Under investigation EXTRACT FROM REPORT SUBMISSION: The pilot inadvertently violated controlled airspace. The pilot flew the aircraft to an altitude of 3012 feet AMSL and in doing entered Class D Airspace with a Lower Limit (LL) of 2500 feet AMSL without the requisite ATC clearance. The violation occurred due to the combination of recent changes to the location of the control airspace space associated with the new runaway at the Sunshine Coast Airport and the pilots conditioned spatial awareness given the general vicinity of the incursion was, until recently, Class G airspace to an altitude of 8500 feet AMSL and commonly flown in transit to or from the Teewah training area.

STATUS: Under investigation EXTRACT FROM REPORT SUBMISSION: Whilst conducting circuit training at YOAS on runway 36R, on descent on base the pilot became aware of a Cessna Caravan approaching from the east on an opposing heading. The pilot turned early on to final to avoid the aircraft and attempted to contact the aircraft on CTAF (126.7) to advise the aircraft they were infringing the circuit at well below circuit height, however there was no response. After conducting a touch and go on 36R and on upwind the same aircraft again crossed their path, once again below circuit height. The pilot changed frequency to Camden Tower and heard the Cessna Caravan requesting a straight-in approach from The Oaks on runway 06. At that stage the pilot advised the Cessna Caravan aircraft they had flown through The Oaks circuit. No response from either the Cessna Caravan aircraft or Camden Tower.

STATUS: Under investigation EXTRACT FROM REPORT SUBMISSION: While returning northbound for Archerfield on descent from the southern training area, the pilot momentarily lost a visual fix of their location and breached the 4500ft BN step. Brisbane centre ATC (125.7) contacted the pilot prior to the airspace violation however the violation of CTA was already committed. The pilot responded, notifying that they will comply with a left turn starting a descent to 3000ft.

STATUS: Under investigation EXTRACT FROM REPORT SUBMISSION: Upon the completion of an instructional flight to the training area, the aircraft was conducting a touch-and-go landing on runway 11R at Bankstown (YSBK). During the initial climb out after the touch and go, the PIC observed less than full power with mild surging and notified the tower. Between 350-400ft AGL, engine power continued to wind back below a suitable level and climb performance was significantly degraded. The PIC elected to conduct an opposite-direction precautionary landing on runway 29R and executed a 180-degree turn with partial power. The tower managed conflicting traffic and provided a landing clearance; the aircraft landed uneventfully.

STATUS: Under Investigation EXTRACT FROM REPORT SUBMISSION: The aircraft departed with 30L of fuel on board.

STATUS: Under Investigation EXTRACT FROM REPORT SUBMISSION: During dual navex flight training a small loss of power was noticed, 50-100rpm or so. The instructor suspected maybe carby ice, however carby heat made no difference so removed the CH. About 30s-1 min later the aircraft experienced a sudden onset of severe vibration and loss of power - it felt like a cylinder had stopped, the instructor took over at this point. Reducing throttle to below 2000rpm got rid of the vibration a bit. Adding it back and the engine immediately started to vibrate badly and clearly not run on all 4. The aircraft had insufficient power to maintain altitude. The instructor chose a field to make an emergency landing whilst trying carby heat, fuel pump and mags to no avail. The aircraft landed uneventfully.
