The pilot had planned to conduct pattern flights for training purposes under visual flight rules (VFR) at Farrenberg Airfield. The takeoff occurred at 17:00 from runway 10.
Witnesses observed that after a flight duration of 15 minutes, the aircraft entered the base leg for runway 28, and the pilot communicated with the air traffic controller via radio. During the final approach to runway 28, the pilot radioed again. According to the pilot's statements, he found it difficult to maintain stable engine RPM. He attempted to correct the descent below the desired glide path by, according to his recollection, setting the throttle lever to maximum power.
The aircraft was observed in a descent with full extended flaps, approaching the airfield. At the height of the starting vehicle, it had approximately 15 meters of altitude above the ground, and a sudden intensification of the aircraft's descent was noted. Subsequently, the aircraft crashed to the ground 200 meters short of the runway and came to a stop after an additional 38 meters in its final position.
