Occupants and Fatalities

Sequence of Events
According to the investigation, as the aircraft approached Dresden, the pilot failed to realize that the aircraft's altitude was too low. This led to the aircraft striking a chimney of a bungalow before impacting the ground in a field. The wreckage was located near the village of Grossnaundorf, northeast of the airport.
Investigation Findings
The investigation determined that the accident was caused by the pilot's failure to recognize that the aircraft's altitude was too low during the night approach. No other contributing factors were identified in the official source.
