"Fortunately he was able to land it safely but it tipped on its nose when the wheels dug into the soft ground. He walked away from the plane so he wasn't injured.
"Ambulance, fire and police there within minutes which is reassuring about the quality of our emergency services."
Northern fire communications shift manager Craig Dally said the pilot and his passenger were able to walk away after the pilot made an emergency landing on the paddock, with the plane staying in tact.
"It wasn't a crash it was more like a forced landing and the occupants were able to walk away," he said.
Emergency services rushed to the scene before the pilot's condition was known.
