Accident to the Air Création Ifun16 identified 974OW on 15/09/2023 at Cambaie

Loss of control on final approach, collision with a hangar, fire

Responsible entity

France - BEA

Investigation progression Closed
Progress: 100%

At sunset, the pilot undertook a sequence of twelve touch-and-go landings in less than twenty minutes of flight, carrying out the steep climbs which are possible with flex-wings. A state of elation  may have then set in as the manoeuvres followed one after the other, with lower safety margins than for a standard circuit. In this context, after returning to the runway on the reciprocal QFU, the pilot lost control of the microlight at low height.
