Zwischenfall mit Grunau Baby II beim Windenstart am Flugplatz Sisseln

Sisseln Flugplatz, Switzerland Edmund Schneider Grunau Baby II

Am 16. Mai 1965 ereignete sich ein Zwischenfall mit einem Grunau Baby II während eines Windenstarts am Flugplatz Sisseln in der Schweiz. Der Flugschüler verlor während des Starts die Kontrolle über das Segelflugzeug, und das Windenseil wurde erst freigegeben, nachdem das Flugzeug abgehoben hatte. Das Segelflugzeug stürzte dann steil zu Boden. Der Flugschüler blieb unverletzt, aber das Flugzeug erlitt erhebliche Schäden, die auf 40 % seines Wertes geschätzt werden.

  1. Winch launch ground roll: During the initial ground roll of a winch launch, the student pilot began accelerating in the Grunau Baby II.
  2. Loss of control on roll: While still on the ground during the winch launch, the student pilot lost control of the glider's attitude and direction.
  3. Late cable release: The winch cable was not released immediately after control was lost and was only released after the glider had already lifted off.
  4. Steep descent after lift-off: After lifting off with control already lost and the cable then released, the glider entered a relatively steep descent toward the ground.
  5. Crash - no injury: The glider impacted the ground steeply, leaving the student pilot uninjured but causing substantial damage to the aircraft (about 40% of its value).
