A 55-year-old man, holding a private pilot's license for light aircraft (PPL(A)), purchased an ultralight aircraft, the Storch CL, in the Czech Republic. After the purchase, on September 18, 2023, the man took off from the Oáza Dědřichov airfield near Uničov in the Czech Republic. The pilot planned to fly to the Uścisk nad Orlicą airport (LKUO) and then intended to continue the flight to Poland. The following day, at around 5:30 PM, the co-owner of the EPBI airfield noticed an aircraft flying from west to east at an altitude of approximately 150 meters above ground level (AGL). The aircraft circled the airfield and flew eastward. After a moment, the aircraft disappeared from sight, hiding behind the treetops, and then there was a loud noise. Witnesses found the aircraft nose-dived into the ground. Despite the swift rescue operation and the transportation of the injured pilot to the hospital, he succumbed to the injuries sustained.
