The aircraft changed its original flight plan and shortened its flight directly to LJMB. According to the track, the aircraft was on a VFR route: Ptuj, Zagreb, Karlovac, Brezice, Poljcane. Aircraft declared a state of "urgency " in the air. The reason was smoke in the aircraft cabin. LJSK was offered by ATC as an alternative for a quick landing, but the aircraft decided to continue the flight towards LJMB. Priority landing "emergency" with smoke in the cabin was declared later. RWY 32 was in use, and TWR wind was 280/4kts. The pilot said he suspects a cracked exhaust pipe. Aircraft landed successfully and vacated the RWY by B TXW to the apron. After landing, the cabin smelled of exhaust fumes. The pilots were given oxygen on the ground. It is assumed that it was carbon monoxide poisoning. They were lucky to remain conscious.
The weather was good and had no impact on the incident:
