At 1900 Eastern Daylight-saving Time on 12 January 2012 a Beech Aircraft Corporation 23 (Musketeer) registered VH-DFC was on final approach to runway 18 at Mildura aerodrome, Victoria. With one stage of flap selected and passing about 300 feet above ground level (AGL), the pilot responded to a heavy sink rate by applying full throttle.
After climbing slightly, the aircraft then ballooned high. The pilot allowed the aircraft to climb to regain glide path then put the nose down and retarded the throttle to continue the approach. The aircraft then dropped rapidly and impacted runway 18 prior to the intersection with runway 09/27.
The aircraft sustained serious damage when the nose wheel separated from the fuselage. The pilot vacated the aircraft uninjured, while the sole passenger sustained minor injuries.
Aircraft repaired and returned to service: photographed at Redcliffe, Queensland in February 2014.
