Accident to the Kubicek BB45 registered F-HAOK operated by Wing Over ULM on 31/08/2021 at Saint-Germain-Laval

The pilot decided to make a commercial flight based on the weather forecasts consulted the day before and his observations in the morning. These forecasts indicated strengthening winds throughout the morning, which increased the risk of a fast landing. The conditions estimated at the time of the accident showed that it is likely that the gusts of wind during the flight were stronger than the forecasts consulted the day before. The aerological conditions during the landing may have led to the hard landing and the basket being dragged, causing the injury of an elderly passenger with reduced physical capacities.
