In the accident, the pilot and the boy were affected both directly and emotionally. The saving forces quickly reached the scene of the accident and were able to quickly free both inmates of the aircraft from the crashed machine. Despite the severity of the injuries, both the pilot and the boy were appealing, which indicates that they were not in mortal danger.

The location had been made more difficult by the cold and wet weather, which complicated the recovery and securing of the aircraft wreck. To protect against the elements, the wreck first had to be covered with a tarpaulin so that a technical examination can be carried out at a later date.

The relationship between the 54-year-old pilot and the 11-year-old boy remains unclear. According to police information in Heilbronn, it could not be clearly determined whether it was the pilot's son. This throws an additional emotional dimension on the already tragic incident.
