The accident occurred during the takeoff roll on runway 27. The aircraft reached a speed of 140–150 km/h when the pilot initiated rotation. Shortly after becoming airborne, while climbing to approximately 30 feet, the aircraft turned slightly to the right. The pilot-in-command then executed a left turn, raised the flaps, and nosed down to gain speed. The aircraft's speed increased to 200 km/h before it struck the ground and crashed in a field.
