The plane of Azelot skydiving school had dropped his eight paratroopers at 4,000 m on Saturday around 10:30, before starting his descent. When landing on the smaller of the two runways (600 m long), the Pilatus landing gear struck a small embankment at the beginning of the runway designed to prevent the intrusion of unwanted vehicles outside the airfield.
The landing géra and its two wheels were torn off. The aircraft stopped on its belly, some 80 m from the point of impact. His propeller was also damaged. The pilot is unhurt. An error of appreciation at the landing at the beginning of the runway would be at the origin of the incident.
The weather conditions were excellent.
