SF 28A Kollision mit Transportkabel bei Carena führt zu tödlichem Unfall

Carena, Switzerland Glasflügel Standard Libelle 201

Am 14. August 1982 kollidierte ein SF 28A 'Tandem Falke' mit einem Transportkabel in der Nähe von Carena, Schweiz. Das Motorsegelflugzeug befand sich auf einem Rundflug, als es das Kabel traf und in ein Waldgebiet abstürzte. Der Pilot erlitt tödliche Verletzungen, und der Passagier wurde schwer verletzt. Das Flugzeug wurde zerstört, und es gab geringfügige Schäden am Wald. Die Untersuchung stellte fest, dass eine mögliche Desorientierung aufgrund schlechter Sichtverhältnisse und der Alkoholkonsum des Piloten als beitragende Faktoren galten.

  1. Self-launch sightseeing: The pilot self-launched the SF 28A motor glider from Locarno with a passenger for a local sightseeing flight, flying VFR in hazy conditions.
  2. Pilot under alcohol: The pilot commenced the flight while under the influence of alcohol, as later confirmed by post-mortem analysis.
  3. Haze and terrain: Strong haze in mountainous terrain and the presence of multiple registered transport cables in nearby valleys created a high-risk environment for low flying.
  4. Low entry into valley: The motor glider was flown low up an enclosed, cable-infested mountain valley, likely the Val Morobbia, possibly due to an orientation error in the haze.
  5. Cable strike: While flying along the valley side near Carena, the aircraft’s propeller spinner, right wing leading edge, and right tailplane struck a transport cable spanning the valley.
  6. Loss of control descent: Following the cable impact, the motor glider rolled right, pitched toward the slope, partially recovered, and then impacted the hillside at a steep angle.
  7. Crash - fatal: The aircraft crashed into forested terrain and was destroyed, fatally injuring the pilot and seriously injuring the passenger, with minor damage to the surrounding woodland.
