The two-seater motorglider, which took off from the Sisteron-Vaumeilh aerodrome, crashed at almost 1,200 meters above sea level on the territory of the commune of Valernes, in a forested area near the summit of the mountain Hongrie.
The two victims are two tourists passing through the region, a 64-year-old Belgian, the pilot of the aircraft, and his passenger, a 67-year-old Dutchman.
CONCLUSIONS:
The pilot flew the slope by making alternating eightshaped turns at an inclination of more than 30° along the Hungarian Rocks. Analysis of the parameters shows that the glider's speed was decreasing in the last seconds of the flight, approaching the stall speed.
Then, during a right turn, the pilot lost control of the glider.
The height of change in slope flight did not allow the pilot to regain control of the glider before impact with the ground.
