The powered hang glider was test-flown by a certified pilot at a field takeoff/landing site in the Bayanbulak area. Information obtained from ground crew who witnessed the accident indicated that, approximately three minutes into flight and at a hundred meters above the ground, the powered hang glider entered a spin which lasted until the aircraft impacted on terrain. The pilot was pronounced dead on arrival at a local clinic.
Probable Cause: A sudden and strong updraft resulted in the powered hang glider's aggravated stall, from which recovery was not effected.
