Plane crashed when returning to Warsaw after Malopolski Piknik Lotniczy Airshow shortly after takeoff. After the crash, the only conscious passenger was able to remove two other passengers from the wreckage, but since pilot's safety belts were jammed, he was unable to release pilot.
The plane got fire and exploded shortly after that, heavy burning two of three survivors, one of whom died in hospital the following day due to large burns.
Witnesses reported, that plane was probably overloaded.
According to a statement of the chairman of the PKBWL (State Aviation Accident Investigation Commission), the control wheel gust lock has not been removed before takeoff. The gust lock was improperly installed in a way that did not disable yoke movement completely and only restricted forward yoke movement, preventing lowering the angle of attack after takeoff.
