Mr Chowdury called Mr Kapoor the 'coolest senior pilot' and said the pair had 'almost 30 hours flying time together'.

Former student Shaymaa Abdullah told Dubbo News Mr Kapoor was a 'great instructor'.

'The aviation community is small and a lot of students both past and present are saddened by this news.

'It has impacted a lot of us who knew him. Some of his work colleagues have travelled to the crash site.'

Mr Kapoor and Ms Sharma were both from Sydney and had travelled to Orange for the lesson.

Police and aviation authorities will spend the next few days sifting through the wreckage to determine the cause of the crash.
