Aircraft stall and crash during training flight at Camden Airport

No fatalities • Camden, Australia • Landing (descent or approach)

A training flight ended in an aircraft accident at Camden Airport after a stall occurred during a go-around maneuver.

What happened

During a routine local training session at Camden Airport, an aircraft experienced a critical loss of airspeed while attempting to recover from an approach. As the crew was performing the final approach phase of the flight, the pilot-in-command decided to execute a go-around procedure.

During this transition, the aircraft entered a stall condition. The subsequent loss of control resulted in a crash at the airfield. While the impact caused significant damage, rendering the aircraft a total loss, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among the crew members on board.

Findings

  • The accident occurred during the transition from final approach to a go-around maneuver.
  • The primary factor in the crash was an aerodynamic stall occurring during the climb attempt.

Probable cause

The aircraft entered a stall condition during a go-around maneuver on final approach.
