The accident of a glider in Żernica Wyżna, Podkarpacie, Poland. Two people injured. A dangerous air accident occurred in the Bieszczady Mountains. After low pass on airfield, pilot made step turn 180 degrees on the opposite side of a small valley. During turn on low height because of too low speed (energy), glider hit a small tree with left wing tip, then rotated left and hit the ground. Passenger had his arm broken, but pilot instructor had just his forehead lightly wounded. According to the police, fortunately, the injuries do not threaten the lives of the injured.
The Commission found that:
1. The glider had all technical and operational documents.

Art.135. point.6, item 3 "the aircraft has been built or used contrary to the applicable regulations" and the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure and Construction of 14 April 2017 on test flights and aerobatic flights, Chapter 3, Aerobatic flights § 5.9.

1) obtaining the consent of the aerodrome operator to perform the aerobatic flight;
2) obtaining the consent of the air traffic control service in the case of a controlled aerodrome;
