Due to deteriorating thermal conditions, the cross-country glider flight was to be terminated and the return flight to the takeoff airfield was to be made with engine assistance. However, the engine failed to start. During the subsequent outlanding, the motor glider got into an uncontrolled flight attitude and hit the ground.
The pilot of a motor glider was killed.
Conclusions
The aircraft accident was due to a risky outlanding maneuver, resulting in impact with the ground in an uncontrolled flight condition.
The approach speed was too low and the powered glider was not configured for landing. The approach was not stabilized overall.
Contributing factors:
- outlanding decision made too late.
- no current outlanding experience, respectively no outlanding training
