What happened
A non-certificated student pilot was performing a landing in a glider on a dirt and grass area situated between two parallel runways. Due to recent rainfall, new grass had grown in the landing area, creating a pattern that caused confusion for the pilot, who had not landed at this airport within the previous 30 days.
Seeking what appeared to be the proper landing zone, the pilot touched down on an area of bare ground. However, the aircraft was positioned too close to several parked gliders. During the landing roll out, the right wing tip of the student's glider struck the left wing of a parked glider. The impact caused the aircraft to pivot, leading to a second collision with the left side of another parked glider.
The pilot was not injured following the incident. While no injuries were reported, all three gliders involved sustained substantial damage.
