The BRM Aero Bristell light sport aircraft (LSA), registered VH-YVX, departed Moorabbin Airport, Victoria, with a pilot and passenger on board. The purpose of the flight was a navigation exercise in support of the pilot’s commercial pilot training requirements. Following an overfly of the intended waypoint at Stawell Airport, the aircraft was observed by witnesses to conduct a number of aerobatic‑type manoeuvres before control was lost. The pilot was unable to recover control of the aircraft before it impacted terrain. The occupants sustained significant injuries and the aircraft was destroyed.
The ATSB determined that, contrary to the aircraft’s limitations and the pilot’s qualifications, aerobatic manoeuvres were conducted during the flight, and immediately prior to the loss of control. The aircraft experienced an accelerated aerodynamic stall and entered into an upright, fully‑developed spin. Although the pilot did not consistently apply the manufacturer’s recommended spin recovery technique, recovery from a fully‑developed spin may not have been possible in the aircraft type.
