The ATSB has commenced a transport safety investigation into a landing on closed runway involving Cessna 510 Citation Mustang, VH-MSU at Temora Aerodrome, New South Wales, on 21 October 2021.
During a flight from Sunshine Coast Airport, Queensland, to Essendon Airport, Victoria, the pilot of VH-MSU decided to stop at Temora Aerodrome to refuel using runway 18. On touchdown at Temora Aerodrome, at about 18:57 local time, the pilot noticed cones across the runway a long distance from the threshold. They elected to continue the landing on the closed runway after judging that there was sufficient runway to stop safely before the cones.
Contributing factors
• During pre-flight planning, the pilot regarded information about a closed runway to be irrelevant and did not review the available information when the plan was changed during flight.
• The pilot did not see the unserviceability markings or markers that were on the runway prior to touchdown, leading to a landing on a closed runway.
• The pilot elected to continue the landing after seeing unserviceability markers on the closed runway.
• The runway was not marked in accordance with the Part 139 Manual of Standards to communicate that the runway was closed for take-off and landing
