The ATSB also found evidence of high combustion loads and lead oxybromide deposits during the examination of components from two Teledyne Continental TIO engines that were defective.
Anecdotal reports indicated that there were fewer engine problems including component failures in engines that were operated full rich during climb, and "best power" during cruise, compared with those where the mixture was leaned during climb and "best economy" cruise power was used. A comparison of the engine operating procedures of twelve other operators of Piper Chieftain aircraft revealed considerable disparity in procedures, particularly for climb and cruise.
In fact, no two operators used the same procedure. The incidence of lead oxybromide deposits in engines that had experienced defects, coupled with the range of fuel leaning techniques used, indicated a deficiency in the operation and maintenance of those engines, at least among some of the operators of high-powered piston engine aircraft in Australia.
On 30 October , the ATSB issued a recommendation that the Civil Aviation Safety Authority alert operators regarding the risks of detonation, and encourage the adoption of conservative fuel leaning practices. This report includes further recommendations addressing the following:. This accident was the first recorded ditching involving a Piper Chieftain aircraft in Australia.
The relatively minor injuries suffered by the occupants of the aircraft indicated that the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill in ditching the aircraft. The report includes a recommendation to CASA regarding guidance material for pilots on ditching. It is likely that the survival prospects of the occupants would have been enhanced had the passenger seats been fitted with upper body restraints, and life jackets or equivalent flotation devices had been available to the occupants.
As a result of a separate investigation, the Bureau issued a recommendation concerning upper body restraints on 31 March On 30 October , arising from the Whyalla investigation, the ATSB issued recommendations to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority concerning the provision of adequate emergency and life saving equipment for the protection of fare-paying passengers in smaller aircraft during over-water flights. Full details of safety action including the CASA response to recommendations made on 31 March and 30 October are in Section 4 of this report.
The investigation included a detailed examination of the regulatory history of Whyalla Airlines from June to June In common with the published findings of other reports on CASA surveillance activities, there was a significant under-achievement of surveillance of the company against CASA's planned levels during that period. However, there was insufficient information to conclude that the level of surveillance achieved was of significance with respect to the accident. With regard to Whyalla Airlines itself, issues were identified in the company that had the potential to adversely influence safety.
There was insufficient information to conclude that any of these issues were of significance with respect to the accident. As a result of the accident and ATSB's investigation, improved refuelling procedures were introduced nationally by the refuelling organisation to reduce the chance of error. Left menu navigation.

The Bureau says it "did not undertake such destructive testing in its original investigation because the detailed tests that were conducted indicated no crankshaft material problems and the ATSB did not wish to unnecessarily damage important evidence".
