After repairs, the plane took off with the pilot of the regiment flying in. Immediately after takeoff, when the running retract lever was placed in the inward position, a whole series of strange phenomena suddenly appeared on the plane. The nose runner came in, the main runners stayed out, the flaps opened, the flap closed, the anti-glare shutters opened, and the Mach cone went out to 100%. The latter resulted in a significant loss of thrust because the engine did not get enough air. The ascent was difficult, but managed to 300 meters, where the plane began to circle. At the time, no one knew the root cause, but the pilot deemed the plane suitable for landing, even though the nose runner could not be released even with an emergency procedure. The flight controller did not allow this, referring to the regulations, and gave the order to eject. After stopping the engine, in the 43rd minute of the flight, Major Boldizsár Répás ejected and landed unharmed 2 km from his plane.
