On 25 November 2019, a Cessna 210M, registered VH-SJW and operated by Mistar Holdings, was conducting a charter flight with four passengers from Darwin to Tindal, Northern Territory. Soon after departure, the pilot diverted 5 NM right of the planned track to avoid a large storm cell that was 5 NM left of track. About 10 minutes after departure, while maintaining 3,500 ft, the aircraft encountered sudden and sustained severe turbulence. Control of the aircraft was lost for over 3 minutes, and three passengers sustained minor injuries. After landing at Tindal and inspecting the aircraft for potential damage, the pilot ferried the aircraft to Millingimbi. At Millingimbi, the pilot picked up four more passengers for a charter to Galiwin’ku (Elcho Island). The pilot reported the incident to the operator that evening. Upon receiving notification of the turbulence encounter, the operator grounded VH-SJW at Galiwin’ku, pending an engineering inspection.
