During a flight from LKPR (Prague Ruzyne) to EDQC (Coburg), intense smoke occurred on board the aircraft. Intense smoke was coming from the cockpit from the area under the foot pedals.

The aircraft was prioritised for a visual approach to RWY12 where it landed at 16:26 UTC. During the flight, the persons on board had to use oxygen masks. None of the persons on board were injured.
The cause of the smoke was a fan motor fire from the air conditioning system. The fire occurred in the part of the commutator between the coals and the insulation of the power wires.
