The pilot probably undertook the flight to train for his passenger carrying privileges, with a view to obtaining them in the summer. In this context, it is possible that he wanted to make a short landing with the engine at reduced speed, for practise purposes. The increase in the approach slope could have been an attempt by the pilot to join an approach path to the threshold of runway 13.
The path followed by the pilot did not allow him to clear the trees located at the edge of the wood, before the runway threshold. The absence of an apparent evasive manoeuvre suggests that the pilot did not perceive the conflict.
