While descending to Donaueschingen-Villingen Airport, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions with limited visibility due to fog. The single engine airplane struck trees and crashed in flames on a hilly terrain (918 meters high) located in Fürstenberg, about 9 km southeast of the airport. The aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire and three occupants were killed while three others survived.
