A pilot has walked away uninjured after their light plane has slammed into a field on the Gold Coast.
Emergency services were called to the scene near Finglas Road in Woongoolba, in the Gold Coast, around 9am on Friday.
The plane’s pilot, a 39-year-old female, was the only person onboard the aircraft at the time of the crash and did not sustain any injuries.
