This FOI release contains ATSB occurrence data for a fatal aviation accident involving a Piston-engine Aeroplane (VH-SXZ, Avions Pierre Robin R-2160) that occurred on 14 May 1986 near Camden, NSW. The pilot, conducting their first solo aerobatics flight from Bankstown Aerodrome, was observed at low altitude spiralling clockwise before striking trees and diving into the ground. The occurrence was classified as an accident with a fatal outcome, and the preliminary investigation found no fault with aircraft systems, suggesting loss of control during manoeuvring as the causal factor. The incident predates the Transport Safety Investigation Act, and the document comprises basic occurrence registry data rather than detailed investigative findings, follow-up reports, or safety recommendations. Some operator information has been redacted under section 47E(d).
