On 10 July 2010, a Cessna Aircraft Company 210L aircraft, registered VH-FTM, was returning to Darwin aerodrome, Northern Territory (NT) after completing a scenic charter flight around the Katherine and Kakadu, NT areas.
During the approach, the pilot reported that the aircraft 'went quiet' and the engine revolutions per minute (RPM) decreased. The pilot initiated the in-flight engine failure procedure, but the engine did not respond. After assessing the situation, the pilot determined that a landing at Darwin was not achievable and elected to land the aircraft on Casuarina Beach, NT.
During the landing, the nose wheel separated from the aircraft. The pilot and five passengers exited the aircraft uninjured.
