A light Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee training aircraft made an emergency landing on the Mona Vale Golf Course on Sydney’s Northern Beaches at about 2 p.m. local time on Sunday, 17 August. Video circulated widely shows the single-engine plane skimming low over the fairway before skidding across the grass and breaking apart. The aircraft, carrying a flight instructor and his student—both men in their 50s—had departed Camden Airport roughly an hour earlier and was bound for Wollongong when it reportedly lost engine power. The two occupants were able to exit the wreckage unaided and were taken to Royal North Shore Hospital with minor abrasions. No golfers or bystanders were seriously hurt, though one person fell while running to assist. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has opened an investigation, appealing for witness footage and recovering flight-tracking data and components to determine the cause of the power loss. Initial reports indicate substantial damage to a wing and landing gear, but authorities described the outcome as a fortunate escape given the busy course and the aircraft’s low altitude.
