Default Old Bar Accident - Ultralight vs Ferris Wheel

The ATSB Preliminary report is out for this accident which occurred a few months ago.

Seems there might be a few questions that need to be answered, .

Exclamation Curious

These two paragraphs might give rise to some interesting follow up:

Quote:
A flight crew certificate application form was completed as part of the pilot’s flight test and indicated that his flight training was conducted with a specifically-named training facility. A search of the RA-Aus listing of approved flight training facilities that was current at the time of the pilot’s certificate application, revealed that no such training facility existed under that name.

RA-Aus approve certain aircraft for use in ab-initio flight training.Factory-built recreational aircraft are approved for this purpose. The Cheetah Sierra 200 aircraft was a factory–built, two-seat, single-engine aircraft. The manufacturer of the aircraft was located at Taree Airport.
The aircraft’s registration certificate expired on 24 September 2011. Information from RA-Aus indicated that the aircraft’s registration was renewed on 30 September 2011. The serial number on the registration certificate did not match the serial number on the aircraft’s data plate.
