The glider crashed during a winch launch. According to witnesses, it suddenly nosedived to the ground from a height of about 50m. The flight instructor (30) and her student (21) were seriously injured and airlifted to hospital. The student later succumbed to his injuries. Both belonged to a glider group from Braunschweig, who were visiting the airfield in Southern Germany for an intensive training week.
conclusions
The air accident is due to the fact that the glider was in an excessive flight condition at a low altitude during the winch launch after an aborted take-off. This was achieved because the aircraft flew at too low a speed and therefore the airflow was cut off. Due to a lack of altitude reserve, a successful rejection of the excessive flight condition was no longer possible.
