The ATSB is investigating an operational non-compliance incident involving a Fairchild Industries SA-227, VH-VEU, near Brisbane, Queensland, on 2 July 2024.

During the approach, the aircraft descended below the glide path, however remained above the altitude required for minimum terrain clearance. The crew were advised by ATC and took action to regain the approach profile.

The final report has been drafted and is undergoing internal review to ensure the report adequately and accurately reflects the evidence collected, analysis, and agreed findings.

The final report will be released at the conclusion of the investigation. However, should a critical safety issue be identified during the course of the investigation, the ATSB will immediately notify relevant parties so appropriate safety action can be taken.
