A Best Off Skyranger Vmax crashed at Aix-les-Milles Airfield (LFMA), Bouches-du-Rhône. Shortly after take-off from runway 14, the microlight stalled and collided with the ground.
Both occupants sustained serious injuries and the ultralight was substantial damaged.
It is likely that the owner's objective was to assess the flightworthiness of the microlight. This was in fact the first flight following significant modifications likely to modify the flight behavior of the ULM.
The technical file for compliance of the ULM with the applicable technical conditions has not been found. It was therefore not possible to clearly determine the extent of the modifications made to the ULM.
The investigation did not reveal any technical failure which appeared during takeoff and which would explain the loss of control.
