What happened
During an attempt to depart from the Dôme Plateau, located at an elevation of 4,300 meters, an aircraft experienced a sudden loss of altitude. The incident occurred while the plane was in the takeoff phase of flight.
As the aircraft ascended, it encountered severe atmospheric conditions that led to a crash. While the impact resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair, there were no fatalities reported. The occupants, consisting of the pilot and one passenger, sustained slight injuries during the event.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the primary factor was an encounter with a downdraft during the takeoff sequence, which forced the aircraft into the ground.
