The RAAF has resumed flying its fleet of Hawk lead-in fighter trainer aircraft after they were grounded on February 4 following an engine incident.
The aircraft were suspended from flying as a safety precaution after the pilot of a Hawk operating a routine training flight from RAAF Base Pearce “noticed an engine warning light”. According to a February 11 Defence statement “the pilot carried out the required emergency checklist actions and landed the aircraft safely at a nearby airfield”.
