The pilot and owner of the Yak-52 aircraft took off for a pilot demonstration as part of the 7th Płock Aviation Picnic Płock-2019. The shows took place on the Vistula River opposite the Old Town in Płock. After gaining altitude, the pilot put the plane into an intended spin, from which it did not recover, and after the 12th turn it hit the water surface. As a result of the collision, the pilot died on the spot and the plane was completely destroyed.
Causes of the accident:
1) Insufficient ongoing training in aerobatic flights.
2) Lack of adequate rest for the pilot before commencing flying activities.
3) High ambient temperature.
4) Loss of situational awareness probably due to body weakness.
In 2011 another aerobatics plane (Christen Eagle II, N54CE) crashed into river during the same airshow.
