Ka 4 Rhönlerche Kollision mit Stromleitungen während des Anflugs auf den Flugplatz Bern/Belpmoos

Bern Flughafen (LSZB), Switzerland Alexander Schleicher Ka 4 Rhönlerche II

Am 2. April 1967 war eine Alexander Schleicher Ka 4 Rhönlerche II in einen Vorfall auf dem Flugplatz Bern/Belpmoos in der Schweiz verwickelt. Der Pilot, der über begrenzte aktuelle Flugerfahrung verfügte, versuchte, eine Außenlandung zu vermeiden, indem er über Stromleitungen etwa 500 Meter vor der Landebahn flog. Bei diesem Manöver kollidierte das Segelflugzeug mit einem 15 Meter hohen Stromleitungsmast. Der Pilot blieb unverletzt, aber das Segelflugzeug erlitt erhebliche Schäden.

  1. Approach to landing: During the landing approach to Bern/Belpmoos, the glider was on final about half a kilometre before the runway.
  2. Low recent experience: The pilot was relatively inexperienced and had interrupted his flying activity for a longer period before this flight.
  3. Desire to avoid outlanding: To avoid an off-field landing, the pilot decided to continue toward the airfield despite being low and approaching power lines.
  4. Attempt to overfly wires: About 500 m before the runway threshold, the pilot dove to gain speed and then pulled up in an attempt to overfly three electrical lines.
  5. Collision with mast: During the pull-up, the glider struck the mast of the first 15 m high power line.
  6. Crash - no injury: The glider was significantly damaged in the collision with the power line mast, but the pilot remained uninjured.
