The craft, a two-seater, was understood to be hovering above the ground at the western end of the airfield when it came down, an airport spokesman said.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service were also called to the accident, which happened during a training exercise today.
The injured man was understood to have only minor injuries but was taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment as a precaution.
