The light plane that crashed in NSW’s South yesterday has been found in rough and remote terrain as the pilot remains missing. 

A male pilot in his 60s departed from Bankstown Airport around 11 am yesterday, heading to Mallacoota in Victoria. He then turned back, eventually vanishing over Budawang National Park, located west of Canberra.

There were no passengers in the aircraft, which came from Bankstown Flying School.

At approximately 4:30 pm, emergency services were alerted to Budawang National Park, which is roughly 25km north of Batemans Bay, following the activation of an aircraft emergency location transmitter.

Police believe the pilot was heading back to the airport when the crash happened. 

The aircraft was found in the Budawang National Park this morning, after the accident site was located from the air yesterday.

The search crew is heading to the location now, but their efforts may be hampered by the rough and thick terrain. 

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is investigating and will release a preliminary reporting about two months.
