On the day of the accident, the pilot together with two friends started the preparation of the Grob G 103C Twin III SL, which was equipped with an engine of 43 hp which can be folded up on the back, and which replaces the towing aircraft or winch on departure. The plan was to implement local demonstration trips on the glider which the club had acquired in November. It was cold and good flight conditions, however the plane had stood outside without protective cover on its wings, and there was frost and snow on its wings and tail. The friends were set to clean the wings while the pilot prepared the aircraft for flight and performed a daily inspection. Because of the cold and the plane's weak battery, the engine was started using an external battery (starter cables for car). After approx. 90 minutes everything was ready, and the pilor taxied the plane out to runway 27 with one of the helpers as a passenger. The warm-up and the function test of the engine were normal.
The runway was plowed, but was still somewhat "rough" due to snow and ice. The departure was interrupted after approx. half the runway length had been traveled because the pilot was not satisfied with the aircraft's speed at this point. The plane was taxied back to the clubhouse and the passenger got off. Then the commander was somewhat unsure why the start did not succeed, he went out and reassured himself once more that the wings were clean. A new departure was then started on runway 27, but this time without a passenger and with the pilot in the front seat. The departure seemed normal. According to the commander the plane took off after approx. 300 m. The aircraft was lifted off the runway at a speed of approx. 80 km / h and it was further accelerated to 90 km/h. When passing the hangar area, approx. 200 m left of the track and at a height of approx. 50 m, the engine lost power.
The plane crashed in an embankment / roadside approx. 70 m after the end of the runway in the extension of runway 27 and suffered major damage.
