The pilot declared mayday for unknown reasons before going down about five miles east of Estrella Airport, according to a Federal Aviation Administration statement.
The aircraft, a Cessna 206, appeared to have landed on an old ultralight landing strip at around 6:10 p.m. Wednesday on Gila River land south of Phoenix, according to Ian Gregor, an FAA spokesman.
The aircraft had been carrying skydivers but landed after the skydivers had exited, Gregor said.
The pilot's condition was not immediately available.
