A pilot has walked away largely unscathed from a light plane crash near Burra, in the state's Mid North.
The plane crashed while trying to land near Braefoot Rd at Hanson, about 15km southwest of Burra, about 1pm yesterday.
A gust of wind pushed the Cessna 172 four-seat plane off course and into a tree.
The pilot, a Mid North man, 43, suffered only minor injuries and went to the Clare police station to report the crash.
He was the only person on board.
The plane was a write off and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau is investigating.
