The pilot took off from the unpaved runway 22 of the Col de Bacchus Altiport.
A witness saw the ultralight take off and then turn left at low altitude. During the turn, he saw the microlight perform a dive towards the ground. The microlight crashed in the forest to the east of the altiport.
The particle found in the left carburetor nozzle could have clogged the nozzle, restricting the amount of fuel delivered to the engine and leading to a significant decrease in power during the initial climb while flying over a densely wooded area.
Given the wind direction and strength on the ground and at 3,500 ft altitude, and the topographical situation of the altiport, it is likely that the air conditions downwind of the runway were turbulent with flaps.
By turning left after takeoff, the pilot found himself in this area and may have lost control of the ultralight during the initial climbing turn.
The accident resulted from the loss of control in low flight. The investigation was able to establish the two significant elements mentioned above, which may have contributed to the accident. Nevertheless, it was not possible to determine with certainty the origin of the loss of control.
