A pilot and a student have been killed when a helicopter crashed during a training flight in the NSW Southern Highlands.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is investigating the accident involving a Robinson R44 helicopter, which crashed in rugged bushland near Tallong, on Wednesday evening.
It took off from Goulburn Airport with the instructor and student on board, the ATSB said in a statement on Thursday.
ATSB investigators were inspecting the accident site on Thursday.
The ATSB is asking anyone who may have seen the aircraft in any phase of its flight, or who may have CCTV or dashcam footage, to make contact via the witness form on the ATSB website.
A preliminary report will be released within weeks, while a final report will be published at the conclusion of the investigation.
However, should a critical safety issue be identified during the investigation, the ATSB would immediately notify relevant parties so appropriate safety action could be taken.
