The Dornier-228 twin-turboprop aircraft - owned by private carrier busy bee - crashed about a minute after take-off, a supply at goma airport told the BBC.
The plane had been scheduled to fly to Beni, 350km (220 miles) north of goma.
A witness, Djemo Medar, said he saw the plane "spinning three times in the air and emitting a lot of smoke".
"When the plane crashed many of us rushed there, we know the pilot, his name is Didier; he was shouting 'Help me, help me', but we had no way to get to him because the fire was so powerful," he told Reuters news agency.
