Incident de Ka 6 lors d'un atterrissage en campagne près de Büren a.A. le 26 mai 1969

Le 26 mai 1969, un Alexander Schleicher Ka 6 CR a connu un incident près de Büren a.A., en Suisse. Le pilote, participant à un camp d'entraînement de compétition, a tenté un atterrissage en campagne mais a décroché lors d'un virage à basse altitude. Heureusement, aucun blessé ou décès n'a été signalé. L'enquête officielle a confirmé la séquence des événements menant à l'incident.

1. Cross-country task flight: During a competition training camp flight, the pilot was flying a cross-country task in the Ka 6 HB-691.
2. Late outlanding decision: The pilot decided too late to perform an outlanding instead of continuing the task.
3. Low altitude approach: By the time the outlanding decision was made, the glider was already at low altitude, leaving little safety margin for maneuvering.
4. Low-altitude turn: The pilot initiated a turn close to the ground while setting up for the outlanding.
5. Stall in turn: During this low-altitude turn, the glider stalled and departed controlled flight.
6. Crash - no injury: The glider impacted the ground near Büren a.A. after the stall, but there were no injuries to the pilot.
