During the pre-take-off check-in, the pilot did not notice that the compressor control plate in the starboard engine compartment was held in place by only two screws. On take-off, the intense thrust required in the intake duct caused the suction to be typical and the aircraft took off and completed its mission without any problems. On landing, after the landing gear was opened, there was already overpressure in the intake manifold and the two screws in place could no longer hold the pressurised disc in place, causing it to fall out of the machine, causing the engine to fail and stall.
Captain László Elek was not injured during the ejection.
