It was reported to the ATSB that the plane crashed into a paddock next to the aerodrome shortly after take-off.
“The ATSB is deploying to the accident site a team of transport safety investigators from its Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra and Sydney offices, specialising in aircraft maintenance and operations,” a statement reads.
“Investigators will conduct a range of evidence-gathering activities on site, including wreckage examination, site mapping with a drone, and recovery of any relevant aircraft components for further examination at the ATSB’s technical facilities in Canberra.
