What happened
During an Open Day event at RAAF Richmond, an aircraft was performing its final approach for landing on runway 28. The flight was following a handling display when, at an altitude of approximately 800 feet, the aircraft experienced a simultaneous loss of power in both engines without prior indication.
Because the remaining altitude was inadequate to reach the runway for a conventional landing, the crew took immediate action to manage the descent. The crew retracted the landing gear and flaps to maintain aerodynamic performance. The aircraft subsequently completed a successful forced landing in a cleared area located just short of the airfield. All crew members evacuated the aircraft safely, and there were zero fatalities or injuries reported following the incident.
