Perte de contrôle lors d’un posé-décollé, collision avec un arbre puis le sol, incendie, en instruction solo
Local flight from Villefranche-de-Rouergue AD (12)
Witnesses stated that the student pilot had made three circuits of the aerodrome in dual control with his instructor, following which the latter cleared him for the same exercise during his first solo flight. The pilot landed, then the aeroplane rolled for a few metres, pitched up suddenly and lifted off a few metres from the ground, with engine power reduced. By radio, the instructor immediately told the student pilot to go around. The witnesses heard the engine increase power. The aeroplane, at a low speed, veered to the left. The left wing struck a tree. The aeroplane collided with the ground and caught fire a few dozen metres further on.
