Narrative:
The ultralight aircraft crashed in a wooded area.
The aircraft was registered under the model name "Virage V-1", which is basically an X-32 Bekas.

The cause of the accident was the failure to maintain a safe climb trajectory after leaving the runway, which led to a collision with obstacles and the ground.
The contributing factors were most likely:
- non-exit of the engine to an increased operating mode and, as a result, a decrease in flight speed. Based on the available data, it is not possible to establish the reason for the failure of the engine to operate at an increased operating mode. Up to the collision with obstacles, the engine worked;
- a significant increase in the terrain on the trajectory of the withdrawal of the aircraft from the rut;
- not taking into account the direction of the wind during the turn, as it was performed, the tail component increased.
