Accident to the Robin DR500 registered F-HSOO on 17/06/2022 at Martillac

Loss of control after take-off, collision with trees, fire

Responsible entity

France - BEA

Investigation progression Closed
Progress: 100%

The pilot of F-HSOO lost control of the aeroplane shortly after take-off. The read-out of a security camera recording showed the aeroplane flying with a steep attitude (high angle of attack), descending at low speed and low height. The examinations of the wreckage determined that the propeller was close to the coarse pitch stop at the time of the collision with the vegetation. It is likely that an input was made on the propeller pitch control after take-off.
