Substantially damaged 30/12/2012: Upon takeoff, the plane hit trees and bushes.The accident was initiated when the plane was taking off, while a wheel got caught in one of the washouts, and went into deep sand. The pilot aborted the takeoff.The plane was substantially damaged, but pilot and passengers were not injured.
According to the summary of the official ATSB report into the incident:
"On 30 December 2012, a Cessna 210 aircraft registered VH-DQI (DQI) was returning to Broome from Cape Leveque, WA. On board were the pilot and five passengers. The aircraft was part of a two aircraft scenic tour of the area.
Early in the take-off run, the aircraft veered to the left, and the pilot applied right rudder. With the aircraft about 1 metre left of the runway centreline, he continued the takeoff. At about 45 knots, the aircraft again veered to the left. The pilot attempted to re-align the aircraft with full right rudder, but VH-DQI did not respond. As he retarded the throttle and applied the brakes, the aircraft’s left wing clipped trees along the edge of the airstrip and VH-DQI swung almost 90 degrees, striking the right wing on the ground. One passenger sustained a minor injury, and the aircraft was substantially damaged. The Chief Pilot reported extensive washout on the edge of the airstrip had contributed to the accident"
