An experienced glider pilot (31) from Essen had been trained in aerotow launches and was towed by UL (D-MENC) for the third time that day with his flight instructor (69) from Hamm. However, on this third take-off in the direction of Fährstraße, the team did not gain sufficient altitude.
The pilots of the Schleicher ASK 21 disconnected the tow rope and decided to perform a landing in a field. The glider descended in the vicinity of Lippedeich and Fährstraße, but touched a treetop and crashed to the ground. The aft part of the fuselage / stabilizer broke off.
Both occupants remained unhurt and the glider received substantial damage and due to the fact that the tail section broke off, it is possible written off.
