When passing threshold 27, the AFIS representative observed in the tower that the aircraft pulled up in a relatively steep incline at the same time as it started a rolling motion to the right. to the north and ended up in a precipice down towards Finnvika on a northern course, and disappeared out of sight from the tower.
The airport's emergency service moved out and found wreckage in the beach zone. Later, the two occupants were found dead.
