The aircraft performed aerial target presentation, on duty for German Navy crashed into 9 meters deep water of Baltic Sea, 1 km offshore. The body of the pilot (57) found two days later.
Conclusions
The aircraft's contact with water occurred in a knife-edge attitude preceded by an abrupt transition into climb and a tight right turn.
These flight manoeuvres are likely to have resulted in a multiple of the downward acceleration due to gravity, combined with the usual consequences for the pilot's ability to perceive and react. It cannot be ruled out that the pilot was no longer able to operate the flight controls and the engine controls in time due to sudden onset of cardiac arrhythmia.
However, a health impairment could not be proven with the necessary certainty by the examinations in the course of the autopsy on the pilot.
