Aussie AOPA president reported killed in kit plane crash
ATSB to probe fatal kit plane crashes
special federal investigation into two fatal crashes involving kit planes could result in tighter regulations for self-built aircraft, authorities say. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), which normally confines its investigations to passenger aircraft, will look into the crashes of the two kit planes, which happened just six days apart. Ron Bertram, president of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), was killed on Wednesday as he tested a Lancair 360 kit plane at Sydney's Bankstown Airport. And last Friday, the male pilot of a Lancair 320 kit plane died when it ploughed into trees and landed in waist-deep water in a gully in suburban Brisbane.
