| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During a navigation flight, the pilot lost control of the ULM which collided with the ground in the middle of a pine forest.
During a flight between La Rochelle and Saint-Geours-de-Maremne, the pilot lost control of the ULM. The investigation did not allow to determine the reason of this loss of control. The results of the examinations carried out show that a departure of smoke in the cockpit, due to an electric short-circuit or to a heating of the lithium battery of the cell phone of the pilot, could have occurred during the flight. Such a situation could have disturbed the pilot, or even caused the pilot or the passenger to become unwell, both of them suffering from heart problems.
