Previously, Mount Beauty Airport was the scene of the tragic death of Matthew Farrell, a pilot who crashed a light aircraft in dense bushland shortly after take-off in September 2022.
An inquest found that other pilots on the ground at the time of the crash considered the weather to be bad.
Farrell obtained a pilot’s license through an accelerated conversion course of his paragliding accreditation.
The court heard there were concerns about the adequacy of this training.
