OCCURRENCE SUBMITTED TO DETAILS RAAUS: RA aircraft had a tailwheel fork damage at Narromine Aerodrome. It was reported that tyre tread overwearing was noticed over few days prior to occurrence due to which tailwheel tube was changed by the maintainer to ensure even wear. Due to this, it was decided by the PIC to undertake only on circuit operation and land on RWY 11 in order to check the condition of the tail wheel. However, on landing roll, the PIC had reportedly felt the aircraft was hard to steer. Subsequently, when the aircraft was taxied out of the RWY into eastern taxiway, it was noticed that the tailwheel fork weld was sheared on one side, with a crack on the other side – as a result tailwheel for was reported to be damaged.

OCCURRENCE SUBMITTED TO DETAILS RAAUS: RAAus registered Auster aircraft was involved in an incident during landing at home strip at Lanyon near Tharwa in ACT. The PIC was returning from Cootamundra after completing his BFR check. The pilot had reported that the turn for final leg was made early hence extended the base leg and made left hand orbit to turn left onto final. The pilot also added doing side slips on approach to lose some altitude. The aircraft had reportedly crossed fence at 55 kts which the PIC has indicated to be slightly faster. Subsequently, the aircraft had floated and the pilot intended to touch down again by holding the stick back and also applied brakes. This had resulted in the tail lifting up and the propeller hitting grass, and eventually left the aircraft upside down. Emergency services were called and the pilot was taken to hospital.
