A pilot has emerged unscathed after crash landing a light plane on its nose at Bankstown Airport.
The American Champion Scout model plane came to a crashing halt around 9am today.
The 51-year-old pilot told paramedics he caught a sudden tailwind while coming in to land.
The rented aircraft, used by a local aeroclub, was towed from the runway.
"We suspect he'll make a full recovery, he's just been transported as a precaution with some suspected spinal injuries," NSW Ambulance's Andrew Pinney told 9News.
"He knew that he was very lucky today."
