During the night flight, the pilot had vision and balance problems, which caused him to eject. The plane touched the ground between Nyárlőrinc and the distant reference point, 8 km from the threshold, and landed in a perfect position and regularly. If it had landed in clear terrain, it probably would have taxied until it ran out of fuel, but because it landed in a cornfield, first one of the main landing gear broke off, then the nose gear, and the plane's engine stopped because of the swallowed earth.
Lt. Col. László Sütöri was not injured.
