NSW Police said they received a report that a plane had crashed and caught alight just before 3:00pm today.

The Rural Fire Service (RFS) has extinguished the fire and a crime scene has been established.

Police said they were still conducting inquiries and confirming how many people were on board at the time.

It appears the plane took off from Canberra Airport about 2:30pm.

NSW Police superintendent Cath Bradbury said she believed a local resident had called emergency services after seeing flames in the vicinity of the crash.

"When police arrived with RFS services there was a small grass fire and obviously a catastrophic crash of a small light aircraft," she said.

"The RFS extinguished the plane — unfortunately there are no survivors.

"We're still establishing who was in the plane and how many, we do not know those details at this stage."
