An Extra EA 300 aircraft registered VH-EXR and a Guimbal Cabri G2 helicopter registered VH-LTO collided on runway 12 at Caloundra Airport, Queensland.
During a touch-and-go landing, the Extra EA 300 collided with the Guimbal Cabri G2 on the runway. Both aircraft sustained substantial damage.
Contributing factors:
- The pilots of the Extra did not assimilate the helicopter pilot’s radio calls, probably due to an expectation that the helicopter would not join the 1,000 ft circuit pattern.
- The pilots of the Extra were unaware of the presence of the helicopter in the 1,000 ft circuit pattern and did not sight the helicopter prior to landing, resulting in a collision on the runway.
