Incident Details
During a takeoff for glider towing operations, a Cessna 305 aircraft, serving as the tow plane, ran through a fence located at the departure end of the runway. The pilot reported experiencing a wind shift during the takeoff roll. According to the pilot, he had not established a pre-determined point at which he would either release the glider or abort the takeoff if the aircraft was not airborne. As a result, he kept the glider attached until insufficient distance remained to clear the fence, leading to the collision with the fence.
Aftermath
Following the incident, the glider came to a stop on the runway. The Cessna 305 sustained no damage, and the pilot was uninjured. No further details about the location, date, or operator were provided.
