Emergency landing in a corn-field due to an engine-failure. The motorized glider sustained substantial damages.
Causes
The accident was due to the glider being turned around its vertical axis during a right turn on approach to an emergency landing field due to contact with the ground.
The contributing factor was determined to be the fact that the pilot did not adapt his flight tactics to the weather conditions and the glider type with folding power plant, did not plan for sufficient reserves and did not approach an airfield or an outlanding field in time and initiated the emergency landing too late.
