The aircraft took off at 11:59 from runway 24 of Sylt Airport with destination Hannover. During the climb, the crew noticed vibrations in the aircraft and observed aileron flutter.

During the landing approach, when reducing speed, the flutter subsided. The landing took place at 12:02 without any problems. Crew and passengers were uninjured.

During the post-flight check it was found that the connection to the aileron trim tab was not present.
