Circumstances:
En route from Cologne to Berlin, weather conditions worsened. In limited visibility due to foggy conditions, the pilot reduced his altitude, apparently to maintain a visual contact with the ground. The aircraft impacted trees and crashed. All three occupants were injured and the pilot Paul Noailhat died five hours later from his injuries.
