Circumstances:
While descending to Budapest Airport on a leg from Vienna, the pilot encountered an unexpected situation and was forced to attempt an emergency landing. From a height of about 10 metres, the airplane stalled and crashed in an open field located in Törökbálint, some 25 km west of Budapest Airport. All four occupants escaped with minor injuries and the airplane was damaged beyond repair.
