A pilot and his passenger have miraculously escaped serious injury after a light plane crashed onto a golf course in Sydney’s north.

 

The plane narrowly avoided golfers as it landed in the middle of the green at Mona Vale golf course about 2.20pm on Sunday.

 

Multiple bystanders rushed over to help, with two men in their 50s walking away from the crash suffering only minor injuries.

 

It’s believed the pair were on a training flight from Camden to Wollongong that took off about 1.30pm.

 

The men were loaded into a golf cart and taken to Royal North Shore Hospital in stable conditions.

 

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has been notified of the incident.

Happening so much it's hard to keep up.

Looks like a Par 3

Nice to know they are OK and see the People running to help. Looks like a pretty good dual X Country exercise to do. Nev

I reckon the bloke who fell down the embankment whilst running to help, might have done more damage to himself, than the blokes in the Cherokee!

Missed the green though.

That first guy in the video looked like the 2024 Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling champion.

 Yes HE wouldn't have enjoyed the TRIP.  Nev

Ok, my geography is not the best.

 

But Camden to Wollongong.   Via Monavale?

Probably a dual Navex. One pilot was an instructor.  Nev

It had earlier travelled Shell Harbour to Camden then west of Sydney, then north of Hornsby down Broken Bay then southbound coastal near Newport at approx 1000ft when the engine problems occurred.

Maybe we could merge the 2 threads ?
