Qantas captain Criddle, 72, was conducting an examination with Jake Anastas, 29, in a Cessna 182 when the aircraft crashed into a Jabiru flown by Khadervali Gagguturu, 60, who was undertaking a recreational flight.
The pilot and two passengers were killed when their Morgan Cougar aircraft, registered VH-LDV, crashed into a paddock in Victoria’s Gippsland region on 16 November 2024.
Round 11 of the Remote Airstrip Upgrade (RAU) Program will offer investments of between $5,000 and $4 million from a total pool of $25 million.
The crew of the Cessna 404 Titan, VH-LAD, chose to fly back to Emerald Airport 200km away when they detected the fumes in the cabin on 11 April 2024, which caused symptoms including headaches, dizziness and nausea.
The ATSB’s investigation into the landing, which took place in May, concluded a lack of fuel onboard and an “unbalanced flight” led to an engine failure that sparked the incident.
The project is being overseen by Angela Garvey – Australian Aviation’s Excellence Award winner – and hopes to help ensure that aviation workers can access support without fear of judgement or repercussions from employers or regulatory bodies.
