A man has died and another has been critically injured in a Gyrocopter crash in the Upper Hunter.
Emergency services were called to a paddock at Goorangoola, about 35 kilometres north-west of Singleton just after 1.00pm on Sunday.
They found the body of a 40-year-old man, who was a passenger on the aircraft.
The 46-year-old pilot was airlifted to Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital by the Hunter's Westpac Rescue Helicopter in a critical condition with severe burns.
The Australian Sports Rotorcraft Association and Australian Transport Safety Bureau have been notified of the incident.
A report is being prepared for the Coroner.
