| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The ultralight aircraft stalled about 80m AGL after take off from Postojna Airport - LJPO and crashed into a field.
Both occupants were killed.
Probable cause:
Most probable cause was HUMAN FACTOR – Pilot’s errors in pilotage technique on low speed with overloaded aircraft.
Contributory Factors:
- Probably the pilot’s low level of knowledge and also low experience on the overloaded aircraft resulted in the aircraft being flown very close to the stall speed.
- Wrong marks on Air Speed Indicator might leaded the pilot to make errors in pilotage technique. Result was stalled aircraft on low altitude.
- Pilot did not understand what caused the small rate of climb. At altitude less than 60m pilot decided to turn back and perform forced landing (it was wrong decision).
- Pilot could not use Ballistic Rescue System because the aircraft was to low (approx. 80m above ground level).
- Eyewitness report that during take-off pilot was looking to the right into the direction of his wife. He might have been unconcentrated.
