ASK 21 harte Landung während des Trainings am Flugplatz Gruyère nach simuliertem Seilriss

Gruyère Aérodrome (LSGT), Switzerland Alexander Schleicher ASK 21

Am 12. Juni 1994 erlebte eine Alexander Schleicher ASK 21 eine harte Landung am Flugplatz Gruyère während eines Trainingsflugs. Der Fluglehrer simulierte kurz nach dem Start einen Windenkabelriss, was zu einem steilen Steigflug des Flugschülers führte. Das Segelflugzeug wurde in Bodennähe wieder unter Kontrolle gebracht, jedoch kam es zu einer harten Landung. Der Fluglehrer erlitt schwere Verletzungen, während der Flugschüler leichte Rückenschmerzen hatte. Das Fahrwerk und die Zelle des Segelflugzeugs wurden beschädigt. Der offizielle Bericht identifizierte einen Strömungsabriss in Bodennähe und eine vorzeitige Auslösung der Bremsklappen als Ursachen.

  1. Winch launch climb: During a dual training winch launch from runway 36, the ASK 21 transitioned from the initial acceleration into a steep climb of about 40° shortly after liftoff.
  2. Simulated cable break: At approximately 20 m above ground and 1–2 seconds after rotation into the steep climb, the instructor released the winch cable to simulate a cable break.
  3. Low altitude exercise: The cable break simulation was conducted at very low height near the start of the steep winch climb, leaving little altitude margin for recovery.
  4. Premature airbrake use: Airbrakes were observed extended shortly after the transition to glide, reducing acceleration and adding a nose-down pitching moment during the recovery.
  5. Student pushes nose down: The student immediately pushed the control stick forward to lower the nose and attempt to land ahead, causing the glider to pitch increasingly toward the ground.
  6. Instructor flare and stall: As the glider approached the ground in a steep descent, the instructor pulled the stick back sharply to arrest the sink, and the glider stalled at low height and sank almost flat onto the surface.
  7. Crash - serious injury: The glider impacted the ground very hard near the runway threshold, seriously injuring the instructor, slightly injuring the student, and damaging the landing gear and airframe.
