Incidents and accidents
On 21 September 2013, a private Cessna 172SP Skyhawk crashed at Stenkovec Airport after the pilot lost control over the airplane due to low airspeed, stall flight at extreme low altitude. The pilot wasn't high enough to gain control over the aircraft to avoid the impact on the ground. The aircraft was written off.[4]
