| Investigating agency: | BEA |
| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot undertook a flight to an ultralight airfield he had previously used once with this aircraft. However, given the length of the runway as well as the wind and temperature conditions, the performance of the Jodel made it difficult to land. On the final, the pilot lost control of his aircraft.
Contributing Factors
- The pilot’s decision to take advantage of the flexibility of microlight regulations to continue flying despite serious chronic pathologies that may have affected his performance, particularly due to the significant heat.
- The choice of an airspeed on final that was close to the stall speed in order to shorten the landing distance as much as possible.
- Insufficient awareness on the part of the pilot, who held a microlight pilot licence only, of the consequences of operating an aircraft with a stall speed greater than that required to qualify as a microlight.
