The flight was planned to transport three passengers to Agnes Waters, returning on the same day.
The pilot commenced planning about two weeks before the flight. On the morning of the flight, he submitted a visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan which was received in Brisbane at 0543 EST. The flight plan indicated a planned departure time from Maroochydore of 0630, to cruise at 6,500 ft tracking about 5 NM west of Bundaberg and with a search and rescue time (SARTIME) for Agnes Waters of 11:00.
At 0708 the pilot reported to Brisbane Flight Service that he was descending to 3,500 ft due to cloud. This was the last known radio transmission from the pilot
Witnesses heard the aircraft circling for 5-10 minutes in the Kolan South area (10 NM west of Bundaberg airport) at about 0740. The engine sounded normal, the sound fading and increasing as the aircraft circled. One witness reported hearing a burst of engine power immediately followed by the sound of ground impact. None of the witnesses saw the aircraft before the accident.
The wreckage was found in an open, fallow cane field. The accident was not survivable and all four occupants were killed by impact forces.
