No survivors as plane crashes into paddock

Emergency services found the plane alight in a paddock in Gundaroo, on the western edge of Lake George, extinguished the blaze and established a crime scene.

Superintendent Cath Bradbury said from the crash scene investigators were still to confirm how many people were on board but "unfortunately, there are no survivors".

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has been notified and is due to attend the scene.

Flight information shows the single-engine aircraft arrived in Canberra on Wednesday after travelling via Armidale from Redcliffe, north of Brisbane.

It was registered to a company owned and operated by an experienced amateur pilot based in Brisbane.
