一名74岁的飞行员David Stephens在2025年7月15日死亡, 一名Beechcraft Debonair在根据视觉飞行规则从旺加拉塔飞往莫鲁亚时坠毁。 A 74-year-old pilot, David Stephens, died in a July 15, 2025, crash of a Beechcraft Debonair while flying from Wangaratta to Moruya under visual flight rules. 飞行数据表明,飞机右转150度,右转150度,然后左转,然后螺旋下降,最后一次传送在地面16米处。 Flight data showed the plane made a 150-degree right turn followed by a left turn before spiraling down, with its last transmission at 16 meters above ground. 澳大利亚运输安全局得出结论,该试点在进入云层覆盖后有可能在空间上失去方向,导致控制丧失。 The Australian Transport Safety Bureau concluded the pilot likely became spatially disoriented after entering cloud cover, leading to loss of control. 他持有无仪器评级的娱乐试验许可证,飞行经验有限,而且没有完成跨国或仪器飞行所需的培训。 He held a recreational pilot license without an instrument rating, had limited flight experience, and had not completed required training for cross-country or instrument flight. 天气预报显示,沿途有云,偏远的雪地推迟了搜寻和复原工作。 Weather forecasts indicated clouds along the route, and the remote, snowy terrain delayed search and recovery efforts. 报告强调,非文书评级试点在飞向可见度低的地方时面临高风险。 The report emphasized the high risk non-instrument-rated pilots face when flying into poor visibility.
