The pilot of a Jabiru was on mid downwind for RWY 14 and observed two microlights enter and roll on runway 32. The Jabiru pilot immediately commenced a right hand orbit to avoid conflict with the other aircraft on 32. No radio calls were noted from the microlights. Pilots are reminded of the importance of a good lookout when operating in the circuit and encouraged to reference CAAP 166-1(4) for operational guidance at non-controlled airports.

The pilot was authorised to conduct 2 solo circuits. Take-off was likely made on the grass immediately to the right of the designated grass RWY due to mis-identification. Subsequently the pilot lined up on approach and landed on the same surface. Upon the first landing the pilot bounced then entered a pilot induced oscillation resulting in 4-5 more bounces impacting nose-gear first. Directional control was maintained, the pilot amended to a full stop and taxied clear.

On established final for a full stop the pilot received a transmission from the Gliding Club tug pilot advising they would need to extend their landing so as to not interfere with gliders parked on side of the RWY. The pilot immediately applied power, adjusted attitude and identified a new aim point as requested. Once a balanced decent was re-established the tug pilot again broadcast that the pilot would need to extend their landing further again. This transmission was received at approx. 150Ft. Immediate action again was taken. The pilot then set up attitude for landing. The point of landing was now significantly further down the RWY than the pilot was used to and was adjacent a large clump of trees on the Eastern side of strip. Due to the crosswind from the East at approx. 50ft the aircraft encountered downdraft caused by the trees. Power was immediately applied but the aircraft impacted the RWY from a height of approx. 20-25ft. The nose wheel collapsed and prop struck ground. Brakes and ailerons were applied to maintain the aircraft upright and stop it.

On the fifth landing for the day, as the aircraft rolled down the RWY the pilot lightly applied the brakes to slow down and maintain rudder on centreline. Suddenly in the second half of the RWY the aircraft veered to the right. The pilot applied left rudder and attempted to realign the aircraft when suddenly it veered sharply to the left towards the edge of the RWY. The pilot then applied right rudder and it traveled in the right direction. The rudder seemed to jam in that position. The aircraft was extremely difficult to steer but was traveling quite slowly so the pilot was able to get it back to centreline and was able to exit the RWY.

Whilst conducting CCT training, the VH registered Cessna was on downwind when the Brumby was seen in front of it less than 10m away. A few seconds later a call from the Brumby was heard that it was joining base for a full stop RWY 09. The Cessna radioed that it was late downwind in the circuit and advised of the near miss with no response. The Cessna conduct a go around with no further issues.

The aircraft had been assessed as in flight worthy condition, the front nose wheel was inspected prior to start up and nothing unusual was noticed. The aircraft was flown previously a student, doing touch and go’s, and hadn’t been through any hard landings. After taxiing to southern end of YLIL filed and after TEMPFISCH checks/Run Up checks the plane was taxied towards the beginning of the runway when the nose oleo leg failed without any prior symptoms. The nose and collapsed oleo immediately impacted the ground bringing the aircraft to a sudden stop. Estimated speed at impact was a walking pace so no injuries were sustained. The propeller had hit the ground and had come to a stop in a diagonal position no longer touching the ground. The aircraft systems were shut off including the fuel cut off valve and the aircraft was evacuated.

The instructor was conducting an CCT emergency lesson. After the lesson RWY centre was requested with YSBK ATC for aborted take-off practice and then conducted the aborted take-off practice which overheated the brakes once the ops were complete. When ops were complete a call was made to request clearance to vacate the RWY centre, which was given and ATC and advised the aircraft to hold short of RWY left. The aircraft was unable to a stop before the nose crossed the RWY s lines due to the overheated brakes reducing braking effectiveness even with full brakes applied.

A student on their second solo was conducting circuits with the instructor was observing. On the fourth circuit, during the take-off, the instructor noted that the aircraft veered sharply to the left while still on the ground before it became airborne. The student appeared to attempt to clear the trees however the left wing dropped as a result of clipping a fence post and landed in the trees, facing back towards the RWY.

The student had successfully completed one circuit and landing with one stage of flap, they had done so without any need for the instructor to come on the controls. The second landing (a touch and go) was flapless, the student had landed a little long. The grass RWY surface was a little rough and as the aircraft exceeded 60 knots, the student hadn’t rotated. Initially the instructor thought the student may have delayed rotation due to it being a flapless take-off and the instructor was concerned that the nose leg was being pounded. the instructor reached for the flap control and asked if the student required flap, the student responded by closing the throttle and saying that there was no aileron control. The instructor checked the control yolk which came away in their hand. The instructor aborted the take-off and rolled through the remaining RWY and taxied to the hangar. For defect response see Jabiru Service Bulletin JSB 042-1

Upon completion of a flight and taxiing the aircraft to the parking area the nose leg partially collapsed. This occurred at a speed of approx. 5km per hour whilst the aircraft was under gentle braking and a meter or so from its intended destination. This occurred due to failure of a mounting bracket that attaches to the nose wheel fork and allows the bracket to pivot in a scissor action.
