The final moments of a flight in far north Queensland were "unexceptional and quite normal" before the aircraft ploughed into a sand dune claiming the lives of all five people on board.

QBuild workers Wayne Ganter, 63, Henry Roebig, 62, Wayne Brischke, 57, contractor Mark Rawlings, 49, and pilot Stuart Weavell, 36, died when the Cessna 404 crashed on approach at the Lockhart River aerodrome on March 11, 2020.
