The wreckage from a fatal mid-air collision over Sydney's south-west is expected to be removed from the crash site today.

Pilot instructor JOANNE ETHELL and her young student CHANDRIKA GAUR were killed on Thursday when their light plane slammed into the back of a Sydney house .. after a collision with another plane on a training flight.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau says the crash site's still being made safe before proper investigations can begin.

Senior Transport Safety Investigator BRETT LEYSHON says a preliminary report will be completed in about a month .. but a final report might take up to a year.
