During the flight the aircraft collided with a cable of a medium voltage power line located near the Piave river, in Cimadolmo, hitting the ground a few meters away. In the accident both occupants lost their lives. The aircraft caught fire and was completely destroyed.
Causes:
The accident - although the safety investigation was not able to determine the reasons why the aircraft was flying at a very low altitude over the Piave river - was substantially attributable to human factors and was caused by the impact of the aircraft against the upper cable of a power line, as a consequence of inadequate separation from the cable by the pilot, caused by the pilot's failure to observe the rules of the air, in particular the minimum safe altitude. The position of the sun may have reasonably contributed to the event, as it may have affected the visibility of the power line cables in the moments preceding contact with one of them. Finally, in light of the results of toxicological examinations that revealed the presence of alcohol in the blood at the time of the accident, it cannot be excluded that the consumption of alcoholic substances may have contributed, even marginally, to the pilot's perception.
