Accident to the ITV Parapente Billy XS identified 44AXU on 23/09/2023 at Blain

The pilot took off from the field where he had landed a few minutes previously after a first flight of around 35 min. He passed over a road and then flew over the field from which he had taken off for his first flight of the day. He turned left and into the sun. Visually hampered by the position of the sun, the pilot was probably not able to detect, or detected belatedly, the presence of the power line. The pilot and the chassis came into contact with the three cables of the power line before the collision with the ground.

The investigation was not able to determine why the pilot was flying at a low height.
