ASK 13 Kollision mit Bäumen während des Anflugs auf den Flugplatz Butzbach

Butzbach, Germany Alexander Schleicher ASK 13

Am 23. Juli 2008 war eine Alexander Schleicher ASK 13 in einen Unfall auf dem Flugplatz Butzbach in Deutschland verwickelt. Das Segelflugzeug, das sich auf einem Schulungsflug mit zwei Personen an Bord befand, kollidierte während des Endanflugs mit Bäumen. Das Flugzeug flog ungewöhnlich niedrig und langsam, was dazu führte, dass der rechte Flügel die Bäume berührte und das Segelflugzeug fast senkrecht abstürzte. Der Flugschüler erlitt schwere Verletzungen, während der Fluglehrer leicht verletzt wurde. Das Segelflugzeug wurde beim Aufprall zerstört.

  1. Circuit training flight: During a winch-launched training flight in the landing circuit, the ASK 13 was flown uneventfully up to the landing pattern.
  2. Height misjudged: During the landing pattern the available height was misjudged, resulting in an approach path that was too low over the area before the runway.
  3. Low, slow final: On final approach over the trees before runway 29, the glider was observed flying unusually low and at too low an airspeed.
  4. Right wing drop: With insufficient airspeed close to the trees, the glider banked to the right and the right wing contacted the treetops.
  5. Near-vertical descent: After the wing struck the trees, the glider pitched into a steep, almost vertical descent, being partially decelerated by further contact with branches.
  6. Crash - serious injury: The glider impacted the ground almost vertically in the adjacent forest, destroying the aircraft, seriously injuring the student, and slightly injuring the instructor.
