Loss of control on short final, collision with ground

Responsible entity

France - BEA

Investigation progression Closed
Progress: 100%

On short final, the pilot lost control of the microlight, which took a high nose-down attitude with a slight RH bank, until it collided with the ground.

The investigation was unable to determine the cause of this loss of control. However, the results of the medical examinations carried out on the pilot revealed the existence of significant arterial lesions, in particular coronary lesions. It is possible that the accident was the result of a sudden impairment of his ability to fly.
