France - BEA

Investigation progression Closed
Progress: 100%

The pilot lost control of the microlight, which probably stalled during the turn towards the base leg for runway 33 at Montpezat d’Agenais strip. The pilot probably did not monitor his airspeed indicator and allowed the airspeed to decrease during a manoeuvre to regain altitude without increasing power.
