About 10.30am emergency services were called to a property off Nine Mile Road, north of Glen Innes, following reports of a plane crash.
Both the pilot and passenger - the only people on board - were pronounced dead at the scene.
The pair were staying at the Glen River B&B Farmstay at Dundee, north of Glen Innes, near where the accident reportedly occured.
The B&B farmstay is known for recreational flying and hosts two private airstrips for microlight pilots,with a longer airstrip for light aircraft nearby.
It is understood that the victims were friends of the owners of the property.
A Civil Aviation Safety Authority spokesman said that as it was a microlight crash it would not necessarily be investigated by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
Police have established a crime scene and are investigating the cause of the crash.
They will prepare a report for the coroner.
