Colisión del SGU S 22 durante el aterrizaje en un aeródromo militar suizo
El 3 de septiembre de 1967, un SGU S 22 estuvo involucrado en un incidente en un aeródromo militar en Suiza. Después de un vuelo de entrenamiento de 40 minutos, el piloto estudiante intentó aterrizar cerca de un hangar. El aterrizaje fue demasiado largo, lo que resultó en la colisión del planeador con un poste de concreto. El piloto no resultó herido, pero la aeronave sufrió daños significativos.
- Training flight landing: After a 40-minute training flight, the student on his second conversion flight on the Spalinger-22 began the landing phase at a military airfield.
- Attempt near hangar: The student pilot chose to land the glider in the vicinity of the hangar rather than further along the landing area.
- Landing flown too long: During the approach and flare, the student allowed the landing to continue too far, resulting in an overlong landing roll toward obstacles near the hangar.
- Collision course with post: Because of the overlong landing, the glider’s ground track brought it into the area where a concrete post was located.
- Crash - no injury: The glider collided with a concrete post near the hangar, significantly damaging the aircraft but leaving the pilot uninjured.
