A Jodel D.113V collided with the terrain on Argentière Glacier at an altitide of 2600 metres. and caught fire after the impact.
After taking off from Albertville Airfield, the student pilot and instructor headed for the Mont-Blanc massif before entering the Argentière glacier on the right bank of the glacier. Arriving at the glacier basin, with a low cloud ceiling and probably turbulent air conditions, they probably made a U-turn to the right.
Following this turn, on a section of the glacier with a slight downward slope, the aircraft found itself downwind of the relief and likely encountered strong downdrafts that caused it to be forced to the ground.
The investigation was unable to determine :
- why the instructor made the decision to enter the Argentière glacier and continue the flight to the bottom of the glacier;
- the instructor's pre-flight knowledge of weather conditions in the Mont-Blanc region;
- whether the instructor was aware of the disturbed aerological conditions and dangerous phenomena that may be present on the Argentière glacier when the Mont-Blanc region is subject to a southerly wind.
Original built in 1964 as a D.112 and later modified to D.119, then to D.113V.
