The pilot stated that he had been flying higher than the prescribed altitude because it gave him better visibility of the runway over the trees on the south side of the runway. At a certain point after landing, he realised that the speed of the plane was too high for him to come to a stop before the end of the runway. He was finally freed by the airport fire service officers on duty. The pilot was unable to open the door of the plane himself as a result of the damage to the plane.

The aircraft was severely damaged, including full detachment of the right wing. The aircraft left the runway before the end on the south side, smashed through the airport fencing, hit a pole, crossed a road, then hit a tree and finally came to a halt in a lower-lying meadow. During the landing, the flaps were selected in a fully downwards position. Camera images from the airport show that the first contact of the aircraft with the runway took place before the first intersection following the runway threshold. According to him, the nose wheel touched the ground first. A member of Airside Operations declared that the plane approached the runway at a steep angle and crossed the extension of the runway centre line, after which it approached the runway at an angle. The pilot flew a longer final approach in order to reduce his altitude and speed sufficiently. The circuit altitude prescribed for Breda International Airport by the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) is 730 feet AMSL. When the aircraft flew into the circuit area, the pilot entered on a downwind leg at an altitude of 1,000 feet AMSL and a speed of 100 knots. The wind was variable the direction varied from 100 to 240 degrees and the speed from around 6 to 8 knots. At Breda International Airport, Runway 07 was in use, which had an available landing distance of 752 metres. He stated that the flight proceeded without incident. The pilot, who was the sole occupant of the plane, had conducted a flight under Visual Flight Rules from Lelystad Airport to Breda International Airport.
