Narrative:An ultralight gyrocopter (MTO SPORT, s/n:SE 09 S 04, with Full Lotus floats) came flying over Lake Drängsjön north of Åkersberga at an estimated altitude of 4-5 meters above the water. The Gyrokop came in with high speed and with full throttle. Halfway across the lake the gyrokop begins a steep climb of about 45 . When the gyrocopter has lost its speed, the nose points horizontal and then changes to a nose-down attitude. this becomes ever more steeply until the gyrocopter is completely vertical. The gyrocopter hits the water with great force and the pilot dies immediately.
