Spalinger S 18 III Vorfall am Flugplatz Spreitenbach: Kollision am Boden während Trainingslandung

Spreitenbach Flugplatz, Switzerland Spalinger S 18 III

Am 16. Juni 1968 ereignete sich mit einem Spalinger S 18 III eine Kollision am Boden auf dem Flugplatz Spreitenbach in der Schweiz. Während eines Trainingsflugs landete das Segelflugzeug, gesteuert von einem Schüler, und seine rechte Flügelspitze traf den linken Arm des Fluglehrers, der auf die Landebahn ging, um beim Einholen des Segelflugzeugs zu helfen. Der Fluglehrer erlitt einen Armbruch, und das Segelflugzeug wurde an der rechten Tragfläche leicht beschädigt. Die Wetterbedingungen waren klar mit mäßigen Südwestwinden. Die Untersuchung ergab, dass der Vorfall auf unangemessenes Verhalten des Fluglehrers zurückzuführen war.

  1. Landing approach: During a training flight landing on runway 28, the student flew the S-18 on final approach in moderate southwest wind.
  2. Downwind drift on final: The student did not adequately compensate for the southwest crosswind and was drifted to the right during the approach, touching down only a few meters from a glider parked in the field corner.
  3. Instructor moves onto runway: The supervising instructor, carrying a start roller, began walking out from his position near the parked glider onto the landing area during the student’s end of final and rollout to assist with the glider’s retrieval.
  4. Instructor in wingspan: While the glider was in the landing flare and float after first ground contact, the instructor moved into the wingspan area of the landing aircraft.
  5. Crash - serious injury: Shortly after first touchdown, the right wingtip struck the instructor’s left forearm, breaking the bone and causing minor damage to the glider’s right wing.
