A commercial helicopter pilot was killed when his rotary-wing machine struck high-voltage power lines in Gippsland near Mirboo North south of Morwell

The pilot aged in his 30's - the helicopter's only occupant - was believed to be doing forestry work in the area when he hit the wires

Two 49-year-old ultralight pilots have escaped serious injury after the machine they were in crashed on French Island in Victoria - apparently the pilot flying the unidentified ultralight felt unwell and landed in a paddock and swapped places - during take-off a wing struck an embankment causing the machine to veer into a dam

A 50-year-old male pilot and a 52-year-old female passenger on board an aerochute microlight were left suspended about 2m above the ground for nearly an hour after the flexible wing flying machine they were in crashed into a tree on the edge of Lake Connewarre near Geelong in Victoria - both were treated at the scene by emergency response teams and then transported to the Geelong Hospital by ambulance with serious but non-life threatening injuries
