Summary
The pilot held a Student Licence as issued by the AUF. During a landing approach the aircraft overshot the intended touchdown point. It subsequently ran off the end of the strip and collided with a tree. It was reported that the student was not being supervised by an instructor at the time of the accident. The reason he apparently misjudged the approach was not determined.
