What happened
On May 08, 2008, at approximately 1716 local time, an American Champion 7GCBC, registered as VH-MWY, was operating west of Camden aerodrome in New South Wales, Australia. During the flight, the aircraft experienced a loss of effectiveness in both the rudder and the elevator. This loss of control capability occurred after a control cable separated while the aircraft was in-flight.
Despite the mechanical failure, the pilot was able to land the aircraft safely at Camden aerodrome. The pilot sustained no injuries.
