The owner of 71LO had been flying out of Vesoul aerodrome for a short time. He did not hold a microlight pilot license and only flew his microlight with a passenger, also a microlight pilot, who did hot hold an instructor rating. During a touch-and-go landing, he encountered a problem. He decided to return to land on the reciprocal QFU and carried out a 180° left turn. During the turn, the microlight stalled and collided with the ground.
