Air traffic control never heard back from the man and reports came in shortly after that he had crashed in a paddock near the intersections of Pialba-Burrum Heads and Anson Roads.
The man is in a stable condition and was seen with a large bandage over his left eye talking to emergency responders.
He has since been taken to Hervey Bay hospital.
Local mum Lisa Allsopp was on her way to pick up her children from Yarrilee School when she saw thick black smoke and called triple-0 to report the crash.
‘I thought to myself, “that’s not the kind of smoke you would get from someone burning off”,’ she told the Courier Mail.
More to come.
