Collision d'un Ka 6 avec une voiture lors de l'atterrissage à l'aérodrome de Samedan

Samedan Flugplatz (LSZS), Switzerland Alexander Schleicher Ka 6

Le 29 juillet 1963, un planeur Ka 6 est entré en collision avec une voiture lors de l'atterrissage à l'aérodrome de Samedan en Suisse. Le pilote, après un vol de quatre heures, a mal jugé l'approche et a dépassé la zone d'atterrissage, heurtant un véhicule traversant la route à la limite de l'aérodrome. Le contrôleur aérien n'a pas activé le signal pour arrêter le trafic routier pendant l'atterrissage. Aucun blessé n'a été signalé, mais le planeur et la voiture ont subi des dommages importants. L'enquête a souligné l'absence de fermeture de la route et la mauvaise évaluation du pilote comme facteurs contributifs.

  1. Landing approach: After a four-hour local Alpine soaring flight, the pilot commenced a landing approach to runway direction 03 on the 180 m glider landing area at Samedan.
  2. Approach misjudged: The pilot misjudged both height and speed on final, resulting in an approach that was too long for the available landing distance.
  3. Pilot fatigue: The pilot had been flying for about four hours, and the investigation considered possible fatigue as a factor in the misjudged approach.
  4. Road not closed: The flight operations officer, occupied with office work, did not notice the glider’s approach and left the road signal showing green, so the crossing road remained open to traffic.
  5. Brakes applied: The pilot used the glider’s brakes but was unable to stop within the grass landing area before reaching the boundary road.
  6. Car enters crossing: A motorist, seeing the road signal on green, drove toward and onto the airfield crossing and began braking only after hearing shouted warnings.
  7. Crash - no injury: At 18:16 the glider overran the landing area and its right wing struck the right side of the car on the road, causing substantial damage to both vehicles but no injuries.
