Incidente del Spalinger S 18 III en el aeródromo de Spreitenbach: colisión en tierra durante aterrizaje de entrenamiento

Spreitenbach Flugplatz, Switzerland Spalinger S 18 III

El 16 de junio de 1968, un Spalinger S 18 III experimentó una colisión en tierra en el aeródromo de Spreitenbach en Suiza. Durante un vuelo de entrenamiento, el planeador, pilotado por un estudiante, aterrizó y su punta de ala derecha golpeó el brazo izquierdo del instructor de vuelo, quien se movía hacia la pista para ayudar con la recuperación del planeador. El instructor sufrió una fractura en el brazo, y el planeador sufrió daños menores en su ala derecha. Las condiciones meteorológicas eran claras con vientos moderados del suroeste. La investigación concluyó que el incidente fue resultado de acciones inapropiadas por parte del instructor de vuelo.

  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.
