VH-ODX, an AT‑802A, was conducting spraying operations north of Cummins Town, on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, on 8 September last year when it crashed into the ground, fatally injuring the pilot, investigators detailed in their final report.

The crash of Cessna 210N VH-RDH near Goolwa, South Australia, on 6 February, which killed all three people on board, was under the supervision of an instructor who had repeatedly conducted spin activity in an aircraft not certified for it, according to investigators.
