Investigation progression Closed
Progress: 100%

The pilot performed a local flight including steep turns and two low passes at high speed over the runway. At the end of the second low pass, during a smooth pull-up manoeuvre coupled with a left turn at a bank angle of approximately 20°, the left wing failed. The uncontrollable microlight suddenly lost height and then collided with the ground in a field beyond the end of the runway.
