Incidente de aterrizaje en campo del SGU S 22 en condiciones turbulentas en Crémines
El 13 de junio de 1965, un SGU S 22 experimentó un aterrizaje en campo cerca de Crémines, Suiza. El planeador encontró turbulencias significativas al aproximarse a una franja segada. Al aterrizar, la punta del ala derecha se extendió hacia la hierba alta, causando que la aeronave virara bruscamente a la derecha y sufriera graves daños. El piloto resultó ileso, pero la aeronave fue considerada irreparable. El incidente destaca los desafíos de aterrizar en condiciones turbulentas.
- Outlanding approach: The glider was conducting an outlanding approach to a mowed strip in a field after leaving normal airfield operations.
- Significant turbulence: The approach to the mowed landing strip was flown in considerable turbulence, making precise control and alignment more difficult.
- Right wingtip enters grass: Immediately after touchdown on the mowed strip, the right wingtip extended beyond the strip into adjacent high grass.
- Abrupt right veer: Contact of the right wingtip with the high grass caused the glider to be brusquely pulled and turned to the right, leading to loss of directional control on the ground.
- Outlanding - damage: The glider sustained heavy damage and was not rebuilt, while the pilot remained uninjured.
