The German foreign office confirmed the deaths early on Monday, but declined to disclose details of the incident.
The Germans who were killed were identified in media reports as a family from Munich.
The German tabloid Bild spoke of a couple and their two children aged 9 and 11.
The helicopter pilot was reportedly Italian, while Spanish broadcaster RTVE described the two people on the light plane as a man from Valencia and his male friend.
The cause of the accident, which happened early on Sunday afternoon near the town of Inca, is not known.
