A Schleichr ASK 21 crashed during takeoff from Reinheim Airfield (DE-0158). According to initial investigations, the glider was towed by a tow plane. The performance of the tow plane was apparently too low, and the glider did not gain sufficient height. The glider, which was manned by a 52-year-old flight instructor and a 22-year-old student pilot, then disengaged the tow rope, but subsequently tipped to the side and fell from a height of around 15 meters.
Both occupants were uninjured, and the glider suffered material damage of around EUR 20,000.
