Accident to paramotor identified 60ADX on 07/02/2022 at Duvy

Perte de contrôle en vol, collision avec le sol

Responsible entity

France - BEA

Investigation progression Closed
Progress: 100%

A few minutes after take-off, at a height of about 250 m, the pilot lost control of the microlight, which collided with the ground. The air was slightly turbulent.

The investigation was unable to determine the cause of the loss of control.

Nevertheless, the elements gathered during the investigation are compatible with the occurrence of a cardiovascular accident, a pathology possibly unknown to the pilot, or with an inappropriate action on the controls in a context of diminished cognitive capacity.
