The ATSB has released its latest Bulletin of short investigations covering incidents involving jet, turboprob and piston aircraft, helicopters and remotely piloted aircraft systems.
The Bulletin also highlights important safety messages for the broader aviation community, drawing on earlier ATSB investigations and research.
Released periodically, the Bulletin provides a summary of the less-complex factual investigation reports conducted by the ATSB. The results, based on information supplied by organisations or individuals involved in the occurrence, detail the facts behind the event, as well as any safety actions undertaken or identified.
