BEA report:
3 - TEACHINGS AND CONCLUSION
The pilot detained for 23 years a pilot's licence of ultralight by equivalence of his basic certificate plane. The diverse testimonies collected during the investigation highlighted that his experience of piloting of pendular ultralight was almost worthless .
The investigation was not able to establish with certainty if the take-off was voluntary or not. However, the meditative elements allow to envisage two hypotheses:
in the first one , the pilot did not master the management of the power on a downward runway and reached a sufficient speed to take off without intending there.
in the second, the flight realized few days before the accident with a experimented pilot on pendular ultralight was able to be intended to observe the actions of piloting to operate them. The evocation with his partner of a possible take-off could consolidate this second hypothesis.
The accident results from the decision of the pilot to lead its tries beyond a simple rotation, without having the capacities of piloting necessary for the fulfillment of a flight with this ultralight. The pilot was able to be surprised after the take-off and the credit note of the actions on the trapeze, the opposite to those waited to check a pendular ultralight.
Although the regulations do not require it, it is only recommended to the pilots having obtained their pilot's licence of ultralight by equivalence of a certificate or a license of "plane" before year 2000, to fly with an instructor capable of estimating the capacity to pilot one
ultralight of the desired category.
