At take off, while the glider was being towing by a plane, suddenly came back to the surface and crashed. The pilot was killed.
Conclusions of the analysis
During the towing of a glider, in a training flight, the rope was unhooked and the sailboat was then hit against the ground, due to the combination of the following factors:
- Excessive nose up attitude, subsequent right turn and spin entry.
- Inadequate recognition of abnormal attitudes by the pilot, a fact probably attributed to lack of experience.
- Intention to return to the runway for a landing in front of him, due to the low height and speed available.
- Low height that prevented the pilot from recovering from the spin manoeuvre.
