The Pilot (52) made an emergency landing in a field near Haselau (vicinity of Pinneberg, Schleswig-Holstein). The parachute rescue system was activated. Strong gusts of wind drew the aircraft on the ground to a nearby transformer box, where the aircraft came to a stop, standing upright on its nose. Both occupants suffered only minor injuries. The Pilot and his 23-year old daughter were treated in a hospital in Hamburg.
