Two men in their 50s have made a miracle escape after a light plane crashed to the ground in an emergency landing at a golf course on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
The Piper Cherokee light plane made an emergency landing at Mona Vale Golf Course in Mona Vale about 2pm, crashing into the ground.
The plane left Camden about 1pm and was intended to land at Wollongong, flight records show.
An Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) spokesman said there was a pilot instructor and student on-board the plane when it made an emergency landing on the green.
Footage obtained by The Manly Advertiser showed several people playing golf on the course as the plane flew overhead, watching in shock as the plane hit the ground.
Debris from the plane was scattered across the course, though the aircraft remained mostly in one piece.
A person could be heard yelling 'f**k' as other golfers rushed to the plane.
Two men, believed to be aged in their 50s, suffered minor injuries in the crash and were treated by paramedics at the scene.
Three paramedics and one inspector were on the scene to treat the men.
They have since been transported to Royal North Shore Hospital in a stable condition, a NSW Ambulance spokesman told NewsWire.
