The pilot was reportedly distracted by another aircraft in the corner of his eye when landing and overshot the runway by about 250 m. It ran through a fence, sustaining about AUS$40,000 worth of damage. The pilot had been undertaking a test flight before he was due to fly the plane to its new owners, LIP-Air (dba Aero-Tropics), in Cairns that afternoon. The aircraft was registered in Australia on January 20, 2006.
Caloundra has a single 800 m (2608 feet) runway.
