A motor glider crashed into a river at about 500 m northwest of Biei glider field just after takeoff. Two occupants receive fatal injuries, and the glider sustained substantial damages. An eyewitness reports the glider fell almost vertically, and another says down in spiral, from a height of 100 m within a minute after takeoff due to engine fail. The glider was brand-new; registered on 11th May 2021, and was delivered at Biei in September. The accident flight was the third flight and an orientation flight for the captain.
On 29th September 2022, JTSB released an interim report.
