In the morning of January 29, Eric Rossmann, one of the directors of the Rossmann group, took off from the Suceava airport for a training flight in a Polaris FK 14 plane. This plane crashed around 11:30 local time (GMT + 2) 500m from Siminicea village near Suceava. The village's mayor declared that an eye witness told him that the flight seemed to be normal, but suddenly the engine stopped, then the plane glided for a while, then it came down without exploding. Eric Rossman, who had got his pilot license in 2007 and cumulated 60 hours of flying, did not survive. The causes of the crash are not yet known, but the weather was not to blame. As the plane was not equipped with a black box, the authorities estimate the investigation to be difficult.
