Accident to the Air Création IXESS13 identified 24TS on 20/08/2023 at Brantôme-en-Périgord

Collision with power line

Responsible entity

France - BEA

Investigation progression Closed
Progress: 100%

On arriving close to his objective, the pilot was flying in an environment he knew well. However, the position of the sun hindering his vision probably prevented him from detecting the power line in time, even though he knew of its existence. The microlight struck the cables before colliding with the ground.

The investigation was not able to determine why the pilot was flying at a low height.
