There has been a mid-air collision between two small planes near Melbourne's Moorabbin airport, just after 12:30 pm.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) says a Cessna 150, which is a two seater training plane collided with a Piper Cherokee, which seats four people.
The Cherokee landed safely at Moorabbin airport but the Cessna has crashed in a property near the corner of Dandenong and Warrigal Roads.
Police and rescue teams are racing to the scene and there are reports the pilot of the Cessna has been killed.
Cheltenham East Primary school which is near the scene has been shut down but police say the students are safe.
