On 23 September 2013 the pilot of a Cessna 182, registered VH-AUT, was conducting solo night circuits at Hamilton Airport, Victoria as part of a First Officer cadetship program. At about 1945 Eastern Standard Time witnesses observed the aircraft perform a go-around from runway 35 before turning to the right and descending to the ground at Hensley Park Road. The pilot received fatal injuries and an intense post-impact fire engulfed the aircraft
Little survived of the Cessna 182: only the fin and tail section remained after the fire had burnt itself out. The fatality of this pilot was one of a "spike" in fatal accidents in Australia. In 42 days, between 15 September and 25 October 2013, there were 10 lives lost in a total of 8 separate aviation accidents involving VH- registered aircraft
