Inspector Peck (image above, left) said the men had been extremely fortunate to escape with minor injuries.
“At approximately 2.20pm this afternoon, NSW Ambulance and other emergency services were attached to a light aircraft accident at Mona Vale Golf Course.
“On arrival, crews were confronted with a light aircraft that had made an emergency landing after losing power. Both occupants, males in their 50s, had self-extricated. They had minor injuries and were transported to Royal North Shore Hospital in a stable condition.
“Given the nature of the accident, both the pilot and the trainee pilot, had only minor abrasions and were coherent and had full recollection of events. They were very lucky.
“It was a very quick response from ambulance as the nearest crew was only around the corner at Mona Vale. There were no bystander injuries, which is also lucky considering it’s a packed golf course on a Sunday afternoon,” said Inspector Peck.
