A light plane has made a dramatic emergency landing in Sydney's south-west, appearing to bank low over houses outside the airport and at one point narrowly avoiding the tops of trees.
Two people walked away unscathed after the emergency landing at Sydney's Bankstown Airport this afternoon.
Aerial footage appears to show the aircraft just miss the roof of a building at the end of the runway.
The plane then skids across a taxiway before tipping onto its wing on the grass just before 2pm.
The pilot and a passenger can be seen leaving the plane on foot within seconds of the landing, as others raced across the taxiway to meet them.
A spokesperson for New South Wales Ambulance said three units attended the scene but there were no injuries.
Two Fire and Rescue NSW trucks also attended to inspect for petrol spills but rendered the area safe.
The ABC understands it's suspected there was an issue with the plane's engine as it was preparing to land.
Police were also called to assist.
