| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The aircraft took off from LFQJ at 15:40 LT for a local flight to Condé-sur Escaut and back to LFQJ. After a while, the pilot got lost over Belgium, and around 17.00 LT, decided to perform a field landing before dusk.
The pilot located a field reasonably flat, and attempted a landing. The aircraft hit a separation fence upon landing roll, and rolled upside down.
Cause of the accident.
The flight was initiated quite late in the afternoon, leaving no alternative to the pilot but a field landing when he became lost. Visibility at dusk is poor, and therefore the fence was not noticed by the pilot during recce of the landing place. A contributive factor is the lack of experience of the pilot
(total experience: 188 h, from which 68 in ULM, 16h during the last 6 months; experience with the Apollo Fox: 17 h).
