UPDATE 6.42am: AN elderly pilot who crashed his light plane into a Moorabbin golf course was lucky to escape uninjured after overshooting the runway last night.
The 72-year-old pilot’s Piper Warrior was coming into land from a night flight at 8.45pm when he lost control.
Police say the Beaumaris pilot clipped trees as he approached the runway.
He careered into tea-trees and ended up landing on the Capital Golf Course.
“He’s very lucky it happened during the day,” a police spokeswoman said.
Emergency services were quickly on the scene and paramedics treated the man for shock.
Moorabbin Airport will conduct an investigation into the accident.
The plane remains at the scene for the owner to collect.
