Authorities were called to Allworth, 35km north of Raymond Terrace, north of Newcastle at 4.30pm yesterday after reports of a "high speed" aircraft crash.
A 70-year-old man was found dead inside the aircraft.
Another 53-year-old man was found outside the aircraft with serious injuries to chest, face and legs.
He was taken to John Hunter Hospital via air ambulance.
Inspector and Intensive Care Paramedic Jake Brighton-rose said the rescue mission was "incredibly difficult".
"The crash happened on an isolated location and took a significant amount of time and cooperation with other agencies to locate and provide assistance to the pilot and passenger," he told media shorty after the incident.
"Unfortunately we located a one male who was deceased in the aircraft and a second patent another male outside the aircraft.
"It was a difficult extraction and we removed him from the scene via a four-wheel drive."
A gyrocopter looks like a small helicopter but has no engine turning the main rotor.
The aircraft only had two passengers, police said.
A crime scene has been established and an investigation is underway.
