Narrative:
The aircraft took off at 11:59 from runway 24 of Sylt Airport with destination Hannover. During the climb, the crew noticed vibrations in the aircraft and observed aileron flutter. They decided to return to the departure airport. As a result, they immediately turned the aircraft around and landed back at Sylt against the direction of takeoff.
During the landing approach, when reducing speed, the flutter subsided. The landing took place at 12:02 without any problems. Pilot (61y), copilot (27y) and 2 passengers were uninjured.

During the post-flight check it was found that the connection to the aileron trim tab was not present.
