During the three months before the accident flight, the gyroplane was in maintenance and the pilot had not flown. Surveillance video captured the accident sequence, and showed the aircraft in the initial climb. It leveled off briefly before resuming its climb while displaying a significant left yaw. Shortly thereafter, the aircraft rolled to the right about 360° and impacted the runway.
