“There was no further communication from the aircraft after takeoff,” police said in a statement.
Police said responding officers found the aircraft and the two victims in woods just north of the runway in Newton County, about 35 miles (55 kilometers) east of downtown Atlanta.
Authorities were working to confirm the victims' identities.
The crash is being investigated by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
