Accident to the Skyranger identified 63ASS on19/06/2022 at Egletons
Loss of control during initial climb, collision with ground
The pilot was making a cross-country flight over several days between his base at Montpezat and the Châteaux of the Loire Valley. During the flight bound for Montpezat, he encountered southerly wind conditions that forced him to make an unplanned stop to add fuel. He landed at Égletons aerodrome to do this.
On take-off from runway 07, shortly after rotation, the microlight began to oscillate in roll. The information gathered seems to indicate that there was a tailwind component at this point. After a level-off phase close to the ground to accelerate, the pilot adopted a climb attitude, then the microlight turned left. During the turn, the microlight stalled, it made a full spin and collided with the ground.
