In connection with an off-field landing, the left wing came in contact with the ground during the rollout. The pilot in command has estimated that the speed was approximately 40 km/h when the left wing dropped. The glider veered 45 degrees to the left before it came to rest. The crew on board consisted of a student pilot and a pilot in command/instructor. Both were uninjured after the incident. When they departed the glider, they discovered that its tail boom was fractured.
The crew were returning to Haugesund Airport Karmøy after a 2 hour flight in the vicinity of the Vikebygd mountain. Enroute to the airport, it became necessary to start the engine in order to reach the airport. Several attempts were made but the engine failed to start. The pilot in command, therefore, decided to make an off-field landing about 6 km east-northeast of the airport. The failed startup attempts was most likely caused by insufficient battery power.
