The ultralight, registration 5SSE, was practicing takeoffs and landings on runway 03 at the airport of La Seu d'Urgell. It made an approach and then rose to a considerable altitude while turning left.
Immediately afterwards, it turned right and again left before falling to the ground in a vertical attitude and impacting the base of a tree outside the airport, next to the perimeter fence.
On board were the pilot and a passenger, who were killed on impact. The aircraft was destroyed.
The investigation has concluded that the accident occurred because the aircraft stalled as it was performing a go·around maneuver at low speed, exacerbated by the execution of a low-altitude turn and the stoppage of the engine.
The following factors contributed to the accident
- Taking off with excessive weight, which degraded the aircraft's performance.
- Making a non-stabilized approach.
- Placing the engine at idle in the last climb, with the ensuing engine stoppage.
