Le LS 6b interrompt bas le remorquage et pique du nez au cheval-de-bois

Elz, Flugplatz, Germany Rolladen-Schneider LS6-b

Le pilote d'un LS 6b a été légèrement blessé et le planeur fortement endommagé après un remorquage interrompu et une sortie de piste à Elz. Juste après le décollage, il a largué le câble, croyant à un problème de profondeur ; aucun défaut n'a été trouvé. Le planeur s'est posé, a quitté la piste d'environ 10° à gauche, puis — pour s'arrêter avant le bout de piste vers 90 km/h — il a volontairement fait un cheval-de-bois à droite. Le bout d'aile droit s'est enfoncé, le planeur s'est incliné à ~45° et le nez a heurté le sol. Le LS 6b emportait 90 kg de ballast d'eau, non signalés au remorqueur. Le rapport factuel n'a retenu aucune cause.

  1. Aerotow takeoff roll: An LS 6 b glider with 90 kg water ballast began an aerotow launch behind an HK 36 TTC on RWY 07, initially rolling on grass and then aligning on the asphalt.
  2. Suspected elevator issue: Immediately after liftoff, the glider pilot believed there was a problem with the elevator and decided to abort the tow at low height.
  3. Early rope release: The pilot released the tow rope about two seconds after becoming airborne at roughly 105 km/h and allowed the glider to touch down on the asphalt runway.
  4. Left veer and ringelpiez: After touchdown the glider veered about 10 degrees left off the runway; after rolling about 200 m at 90 km/h, the pilot deliberately ground-looped right to stop before the runway end.
  5. Wingtip and nose strike: During the rapid right turn the right wingtip struck the ground, the glider rolled to about 45° bank, pitched nose-down, and struck the ground, severely damaging the cockpit and fuselage.
  6. Crash - minor injury: The glider came to rest near the eastern end of the runway with substantial structural damage, and the pilot sustained minor injuries.
