Collision du SGU S 22 lors de l'atterrissage sur un aérodrome militaire suisse
Le 3 septembre 1967, un SGU S 22 a été impliqué dans un incident sur un aérodrome militaire en Suisse. Après un vol d'entraînement de 40 minutes, le pilote élève a tenté d'atterrir près d'un hangar. L'atterrissage était trop long, entraînant la collision du planeur avec un poteau en béton. Le pilote n'a pas été blessé, mais l'appareil a subi des dommages importants.
- 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.
