Contributing factors
The following factors may have contributed to sail closure:
o local aerological conditions generating significant turbulence ;
o trim settings corresponding to the intended slalom flight, but increasing the risk of the glider collapsing in turbulent conditions.
It is possible that the PTV, close to the high limit, may have made it difficult to reopen the glider after it has been closed.
