Conclusions
The accident was due to an uncontrolled flight attitude in bad visual meteorological conditions, which resulted in structural failure. The left wing broke off, the fuselage structure broke up, and the right wing detached from the main wing spar.
Contributory factors:
- The low flying experience of the pilot
- Insufficient qualification to fly an ultralight across a dense blanket of clouds
- The under-developed situational awareness of the pilot for the flight above a dense blanket of clouds
- Prior damage to the wings
- Significant overweight of the ultralight
