What happened
The incident began when a glider was towed into the air. After completing the initial phase of flight and engaging in various maneuvers, the pilot lost visual contact with the designated glideport. Unable to locate the intended landing area, the pilot identified an alternative field suitable for an emergency landing.
As the aircraft approached the selected field, it remained excessively high on the final approach path. To correct the situation or prepare for a different landing zone, the pilot initiated a turn toward another nearby field. During this maneuver, the left wingtip wheel of the glider struck a fence. The collision caused the glider to lose control and collide with the ground, where it eventually came to rest.
The investigation
The available source material does not provide specific details regarding mechanical examinations or post-accident inspections of the aircraft components beyond the description of the impact.
