| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot, accompanied by a passenger, took off from paved runway 32 at Nogaro aerodrome for a flight to Carcassonne. After take-off, the ground witnesses saw the ultralight take a significant nose-up attitude and lean sharply to the left. After making a turn of about 180°, the ultralight collided with the ground and caught fire immediately.
The pilot was unable to extricate himself from the ultralight. The passenger evacuated the ultralight, but suffered serious burns to which he succumbed some 20 days later.
CONCLUSION:
The pilot wanted to make a low pass over his partner and therefore made a U-turn as soon as it took off. During the manoeuvre, it quickly adopted a steep bank; the speed reduction associated with the increase of bank resulted in the stall of the ULM. The choice to perform this manoeuvre near the ground did not allow for recovery of the stall.
The pilot's military experience, his regular practice of this type of flight and the presence observers were able to contribute to this choice.
