The ultralight hen taxied to take-off from Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler Airfield at 19:40. The take-off took place at 19:43 on runway 28. The pilot performed 4 low-level overflights, each of which involved a high banked turn at the end of the runway.

The pilot was fatally injured and the microlight burnt out.
