Narrative:During the day of the Mediterranean Cup (August 8, 2021), the glider crashed in the area of Cicolano Cartore and the 57-year-old pilot lost his life.
Causes
The accident can be traced to a loss of in-flight control of the aircraft by the pilot, induced by an asymmetric stall associated with the presence, at the glider's flight altitude, of peculiar microclimatic conditions.
The following factors may likely have contributed to the occurrence of the event:
- the glider's imperfect balance;
- the pilot's self-induced pressure in the pursuit of achieving good race results.
