An investigation into a plane crash that killed a father and son on the NSW Mid North Coast has found the accident could have been avoided.
Key points:
The crash resulted in the deaths of pilot Jeffery Hills and his son Matthew from the Gold Coast
The investigation found a trainee controller did not allow the pilot to fly through airspace over Coffs Harbour, likely leading the aircraft to take a hazardous route
