Narrative:
During landing practice with an instructor, glider SE-TBD crashed on the third landing of the day at Trollhättan Airport. The altitude was slightly too low to reach the landing marker, though sufficient for the strip according to the instructor. Touchdown occurred at 80–90 km/h, with the tailwheel hitting a ridge at the runway threshold.
