| Nature: | Private |

| Investigating agency: | BEA |
| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot undertook a trip of several days for which he had to carry professional equipment in addition to his personal luggage. He took off from runway 04, which is the preferred runway at the Oyonnax-Arbent aerodrome. During the initial climb, the pilot failed to achieve the expected climb performance. The low speed of the aircraft probably prevented him from considering a turn and forced him to continue on the centreline. This trajectory led him to fly over a suburban area offering no open space to make an emergency landing. The aircraft collided with the ground.
The investigation could not explain why the theoretical climb performance of the aircraft was not obtained. The hypothesis of a take-off at the back of the power curve maintained during the climb is consistent with the trajectory and the slowness of the airplane described by the witnesses.
