A motorglider crashed into the slope at northeast edge and just short of the runway 28 of Skyport Kitami during a landing attempt. The pilot and the sole occupant received unreported degree of injuries, but was consious, and was transported to the hospital. Photos of the scene suggest the glider contacted with the perimeter fence. The fuselage seems to be broken into three pieces and left wingtip was truncated.
