The pilot took off, autonomously, at around 12:55 p.m., from Vinon aerodrome, France. It followed the Durance valley then headed north-east by performing slope flight and using thermal ascents.
Around 2:15 p.m., the pilot made spirals over the crest of the Blayeul mountain. After a few spirals, he found that he was too close to the terrain and that he could not make a turn to get free. he managed to land on the eastern flank of the terrain at an altitude of approximately 1,950 m.
The pilot operated thermal ascending spirals near the terrain and at low speed. During these evolutions, it probably found itself in the lee of the relief and the glider suddenly lost altitude. The glider then being under the ridge facing the terrain at low speed, the pilot could not safely turn to get away from it. He then had to land on the slope in an emergency, without having time to get out the landing gear.
