On 17 August 2009, a Cessna U206G aircraft, registered VH-KVT, was being operated on a local flight on a property 81 km north-east of Winton, Queensland. The pilot was the only person on board. The only witness reported seeing the aircraft in a steep dive before losing sight of it behind slightly rising ground. The aircraft was later found to have collided with flat, open terrain in a steep nose-low attitude, resulting in serious damage. The pilot received fatal injuries.
Due to the limited evidence available, the investigation was unable to establish the reason(s) why the aircraft departed controlled flight and impacted the ground.
