Due to the ARU-3 failure at 100 mph at 900 mph, a sharp high overload manoeuvre was controlled. So much so that the pilot, Captain Frantisek Pavlik, lost consciousness and upon waking up, ejected immediately. The plane jumped up to 2000 metres and then crashed into the ground west of the village of Blatná.
