Video of the crash captured by one of the golfers shows the moment the plane hit the ground, with people heard screaming in disbelief.

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.
