DP – Pilko - Your outline of the accident omitted what I believe to be the most important statement of advice to others in that ATSB report: “Taking positive action and ensuring that control is maintained has a much better survivability potential than when control of the aircraft is lost.” My opinion is that is an understatement! Bob Hoover's quote springs to mind “If you’re faced with a forced landing, fly the thing as far into the crash as possible.”
Advice; after the event, not from the ATSB who were 'unable' to determine why and engine failed, an aircraft crashed into a street, burned and killed the pilot. Lucky body count I reckon; like Essendon, it could have been a whole lot worse.
When you have done with the ATSB non report, consider asking the ATSB to provide the detailed report on the 'investigation' they conducted on the 'engine failure' related to this accident.
I just don't believe that a reasonable cause could not be determined. They came up with the same thing for the – Agnes Water - accident. Two fatal accidents – related to noted engine failure and ATSB were 'unable to determine' the cause? Twice -
It would IMO be most helpful to the Senate Inquiry and indeed industry, to see an unedited, original version (all of it) to the investigations conducted. Then ask why, despite resource, time, money and expertise – no cause of engine failure could be determined - twice.
It is bullshit.

There was however a serious amount of resource expended, seeking to lay 'criminal' charges. Even if you don't have the time – go to the 36 minute marker and listen. See how the professionals set about 'charges' being laid and their response to 'parallel investigation'.
Toot – toot.
