Accident Details
A pilot was giving a passenger a glider ride. The flight was launched from a 9000-foot runway (runway 15) using an auto tow. At the time of launch, the wind was from 300 degrees at 4 knots.
A witness reported that the initial climb after takeoff seemed normal until the pilot released the glider at about 300 feet above ground level (AGL). After release, the pilot began a level left turn with increasing bank. Subsequently, the glider pitched down and crashed after completing about 300 degrees of turn. Impact occurred on an inclined bank, and the glider was in an extreme nose-down attitude at the moment of impact.
No further details about the aircraft, occupants, or outcomes are available from the source.
