Ka 6 collision with trees during outlanding at Tête de Ran, Switzerland

On May 21, 1988, an Alexander Schleicher Ka 6 CR experienced a collision with trees during an outlanding attempt at Tête de Ran, Switzerland. The pilot, who had recently resumed flying after a nine-month break, encountered challenging wind conditions and turbulence. Despite the glider being destroyed, the pilot escaped without injuries. The official report identified inadequate training for outlandings and poor choice of landing site as contributing factors.
