The pilot decided to fly from Hassfurth (Germany) to Fayence (83) to convoy the aircraft to the Flight Test Centre for test flights. After a five-hour flight, he flew a reconnaissance circuit of Fayence AD on which he was going to land for the first time, and decided to land on runway 10 which has 800 m usable distance for landing. He explained that he arrived at the runway threshold at a speed he estimated at 120 km/h. The aircraft touched down the first time 500 m from the runway threshold, bounced and landed 100 m further along. Rolling at 40 km/h the pilot saw the end of the runway coming and made a left turn. The main landing gear collapsed and the engine was severely damaged. The pilot stated that he wanted to land with the flaps extended to 10°, but the locking catch was certainly incorrectly engaged and so the flaps returned to their initial position (0°). He stated that he was too high and too fast and that he had overestimated the crosswind at the aerodrome. A witness stated that the engine power did not seem to be completely reduced. The pilot had flown 5 hours on the day of the accident and five hours the day before. Fatigue was probably a contributory factor in the accident. The ROTAX 914 engine has an automatic thrust control release, which generates considerable thrust when the lever locking device is unscrewed or insufficiently tightened.
