THE pilot of a light aircraft escaped injury when it crash landed at Sydney's Bankstown Airport today.
The male pilot was alone aboard the two-seater Cessna 152 when its landing gear failed on touchdown about 8.30am (AEST).
Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) spokesman Peter Gibson said the aircraft, owned by a flying school at the airport, was on a training flight.
"Apparently the aircraft was coming in for a landing or a touch-and- go ... pretty standard sort of exercises,'' Mr Gibson said.
"It may have been hit by a gust of cross winds. The nose landing gear collapsed and the aircraft came to a grinding halt.''
Paramedics at the airstrip confirmed the pilot was uninjured.
The CASA will prepare a report into the crash.

Air Safety Investigators are investigating... Probably out there in the cold as we speak instead of in bed asleep.
...There was poor old PNZ propped up out there on Friday, too -
RHS engine feathered and nosewheel missing.
I'll bet THAT was exciting
