Circumstances:
Two student pilots and one instructor departed Haamstede Airfield on a training flight to Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport. While flying over the city of Vlissingen at a very low height, the pilot-in-command initiated a turn when the airplane stalled and crashed on a boulevard, bursting into flames. All three occupants were killed.
Probable cause:
It is believed that the airplane stalled while flying at low height and low speed. According to witnesses, the engine sound seems to be very low.
