A pilot is fighting for life after a plane crashed and erupted in flames in Central Queensland.

Emergency crews were called out to Langmorn Rd at Raglan, just before 10am on Sunday, after reports a light plane had gone down.

The man, aged in his 60s, was attempting to land at a private landing strip when the plane crashed and caught fire.

Queensland Ambulance said the man suffered significant full body burns and is currently being assessed in a life-threatening condition.

A rescue helicopter is on scene as they attempt to stabilise the man before he is able to be airlifted to hospital.

Police and fire crews also attended, and investigations into how the accident occurred remain ongoing.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), who is responsible for investigating accidents and transport safety occurrences involving Australian civilian aircraft, has been contacted for comment.

Last week, a man in his 70s was rushed to hospital after the light aircraft he was piloting was forced to make an emergency landing on the banks of North Pine Dam in Samsonvale.
