Narrative:The pilot, accompanied by a passenger, took off from Salon Eyguières aerodrome bound for Nîmes Courbessac aerodrome.
Witnesses saw a microlight pass over their property at a height which they estimated as being between 500 and 1,000 ft, before losing sight of it. They then heard engine misfires followed by an explosion and saw a column of smoke. They went to the site of the accident, observed that the microlight was on fire and heard a second explosion.
Due to the fire which broke out after the impact, it was not possible to determine if the cause of the accident could be linked to a technical failure.
Given the height at which the microlight was flying and its glide ratio, in the event of a technical failure, the pilot did not have many options or much time to search for a suitable area for carrying out a precautionary landing.
Both occupants were former pilots of Air Tahiti.
