PTERODACTYL ASCENDER II+
THE PLT & HIS INSTRUCTOR WERE DEPARTING THE AIRPORT IN SEPARATE ULTRALIGHT VEHICLES TO PROCEED ON A X-COUNTRY FLT FOR A FLY-IN. THE INSTRUCTOR SAW THE PLT TAKEOFF, BUT LOST SIGHT OF HIM MOMENTS LATER & DID NOT SEE THE ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, AN EYE WITNESS STATED THAT HE SAW THE ULTRALIGHT FLYING FROM THE AIRPORT, IN A RIGHT TURN. THE WITNESS HEARD THE ENG REV UP & SAW THE NOSE OF THE VEHICLE DROP. HE REPORTED THAT THE ULTRALIGHT ENTERED A STEEP SPIRAL & IMPACTED THE GROUND. AN ON-SCENE INVESTIGATION REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF A PREIMPACT DESCREPANCY WITH EITHER THE ENG OR THE AIRFRAME.
