Narrative:
Crews two Z-37 aircraft, registration marks OM-DCC and OM-CJA (Dusty Team), took off at 12:55 from Dubnica Airfield (LZDB) for a group flight under VFR conditions without a flight plan. There were two other persons on board of OM-DCC in the cabin.
The planned task involved approaching Prievidza Airfield (LZPE) with subsequent flight operations/demonstration above LZPE´s RWY 04/22.
