A German light aircraft was en route from Lofoten to Trondheim with three people on board. The flight was to be conducted in accordance with the visual flight rules (VFR) but, in Nord-Trøndelag county, the aircraft entered an area of reduced visibility. The aircraft was observed flying low over hilly terrain where the highest peaks were shrouded in fog. One witness heard the engine noise increase and saw the aircraft climb until it crashed about half way up the steep terrain at the southern end of Søvatnet lake in Bjugn municipality. The occupants were fatally injured in the accident. The aircraft was destroyed.
The AIBN has concluded that this was a weather-related accident. The flight continued into an area with marginal weather conditions instead of turning in due time. The investigation has shown that the air traffic services informed the commander that there was poor visibility along the coast, and better conditions further inland. No request for assistance or distress call was registered from the aircraft at any time.
