A specialist parachute designed for an entire light aircraft has allowed three people to make a miraculous escape from a plane crash in the Blue Mountains.

The male pilot of the Cirrus aircraft managed to dodge houses and major powerlines before landing the plane in the front yard of a house at Lawson at 2.10pm on Saturday.

All those on board escaped serious injury with only one passenger taken to hospital for neck pain. The only damage done was to the house's front fence.

Resident Robert Ross, who watched the incident unfold as he chopped wood in his backyard, said if it was not for the parachute the plane would have crashed into his home.
"I looked up and the engine started to splutter ... he got it going again and then it went dead," Mr Ross said.
"It then started to go into a spiral. I thought the pilot was going to eject but it all happened too quick. I started yelling out to my wife: 'There's a plane going to crash into the house.'
"I was shitting myself, then it veered off and crashed about 400 metres away."
Police said the pilot deployed the aircraft's parachute at 1300 metres "following an emergency incident".
Sydney Flying Club president Allan Bligh said Cirrus light planes, of which there are about 200 registered in Australia, have a handle in the cockpit which, when pulled, fires off a cover-plate and deploys a parachute.
He said it was most likely that Saturday afternoon would have been the first time this pilot would have ever used this system.
"Then the aircraft is supposed to drift slowly to the ground but it doesn't always work to that effect - weather and other things can play havoc," Mr Bligh said.
"There are a number of manufacturers who decline to use them and believe a controlled forced landing, which you are taught from your early days of flying, is a far better system than the deployment of a parachute."
As of January this year, Cirrus claimed 85 lives have been saved when pilots or passengers have activated the system.
