The student, who was earlier allowed to continue his training despite failing numerous exams, pulled up the air brake while he was supposed to take off again directly after landing. A crosswind aggravated the problem, and the aircraft ended up making a crash landing.
The undercarriage and nose-wheel was ripped off, the propeller stuck in the ground, and one wing damaged. Subsequently rebuilt with the wings of Astra 2026.
