Major István Kóró of Pápa did a takeover flight after static repairs. In flight, he performed a half-cover with the plane, with such intensity that it shaded the intake duct, resulting in an engine flare. The pilot did not stop the engine, which is why the turbine blades burned. After the unsuccessful restart, the pilot ejected, but due to the low altitude and the haste due to the stressful state, he did not take the correct test position and because of this, his right hand was seriously injured during the ejection. Unfortunately, the cord of the parachute (KAP-3) was not connected to the seat, so the parachute did not open automatically, and the pilot was unable to open it manually due to his injuries, so he crashed into the ground with the parachute closed.
