Officers remain at the scene near Old Drymen Road and have cordoned off a gate leading to a hill where the crash appears to have happened.
A police van and a team of officers were seen travelling up to the site on Saturday morning.
The aircraft, reportedly a Piper Tomahawk II, took off from Glasgow Airport shortly after 4.15pm and stopped transmitting around 20 minutes later.
Following the crash, temporary airspace restrictions, including drones, are in place around the village.
