Vogt LO 100 structural failure during aerobatics at Landau-Ebenberg, pilot parachutes to safety
On July 21, 2000, a Vogt LO 100 experienced a structural failure during an aerobatic training flight at Landau-Ebenberg, Germany. The right wing broke during a maneuver, causing the aircraft to descend uncontrollably. The pilot successfully ejected and landed safely using a parachute, sustaining only minor injuries. The investigation noted several potential contributing factors, including overloading, possible pre-existing structural damage, and turbulent conditions. The aircraft was destroyed upon impact.
