Circumstances:
The single engine airplane departed Osnabrück on a flight to Borkum, carrying four passengers and one pilot. While approaching the Borkum Island from the east, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions when the aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in the sea south of Juist, about 20 km east of Borkum. A passenger was seriously injured while four other occupants were killed. The only survivor later died from his injuries.
