It appears that it was going to collect passengers and only the pilot was lost.

Given the weather was classed as poor at the time, it is strange that the pilot was taking the inland route [via the Arthur Range] rather than the coastal route.
It is a sad event that will impact on bushwalkers, birdwatchers and OBP volunteers for a while.
