Motorausfall bei DG-400 führt zu sicherer Außenlandung nahe Jesenwang

Jesenwang, nahe, Germany DG Flugzeugbau DG-400

Am 11. August 2000 erlitt eine Glaser-Dirks DG-400 kurz nach dem Start vom Flugplatz Jesenwang einen Motorausfall. Der Pilot bemerkte starke Vibrationen und entschied sich für eine Außenlandung. Das Segelflugzeug wurde sicher auf einem nahegelegenen Feld gelandet, wobei nur geringfügige Schäden am Propeller entstanden und keine Verletzungen auftraten. Die Untersuchung ergab, dass der Ausfall auf Ermüdungsrisse in der Propellerhalterung zurückzuführen war. Die Entscheidung des Piloten zur Außenlandung verhinderte weitere Schäden am Flugzeug.

  1. Self-launch climb: The DG-400 self-launched from Jesenwang runway 25 and was climbing normally shortly after takeoff.
  2. Strong engine vibration: Shortly before turning into the left crosswind leg, the pilot felt strong shaking from the engine area, later found to be caused by fatigue failure of the rear propeller support.
  3. Power reduced, turn: The pilot throttled the engine back to idle and initiated a right turn away from the circuit to manage the situation.
  4. Decision to outland: Assessing that he could not safely reach Jesenwang, the pilot decided to perform an outlanding in a nearby field.
  5. Wing digs into crop: During touchdown in the 80 cm high grain, the right wingtip sank deeper into the crop than the left, forcing the glider into a right pivot on the ground.
  6. Outlanding - damage: The glider completed an off-field landing in a grain field with minor damage to the propeller and propulsion support but no injuries to the pilot.
