| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot took off from Arcachon/La Teste-de-Buch Airfield with a view to making a flight for passengers he did not know, as part of a donation for an association. This flight was carried out on a private basis.
The flight was undertaken outside the weight and balance limits, which in particular degraded the performance of the aircraft on take-off and made piloting more difficult.
The pilot applied a high nose-up attitude from the rotation, which he maintained during the initial climb. The airplane remained in low flight speed. The plane probably stalled at a low height above the pine trees, before touching the top of a tree and then impacting the ground.
