The pilot, 1st Lt. Lajos Sugár, made his first independent night flight. In the 3rd or 4th round of the school circuit, he got into a thunderstorm cloud, where he lost all sense of space, which is why the plane crashed into the ground at a steep angle, and the pilot did not attempt to eject. The plane completely crashed into the ground, only a watery ditch was visible.
