The pilot and one passenger were returning to the Pemberton airfield after a local flight in a Blanik L-23 sailplane (C-GFUH). During the approach, the pilot deployed the speed-brakes and side-slipped the aircraft. When he realised that the aircraft was descending too rapidly to reach runway 06, he stopped side-slipping the aircraft but neglected to retract the speed-brakes. The aircraft was not able to reach the airfield and landed on a golf course approximately half a kilometre west of the runway threshold. The aircraft overturned on landing and was destroyed. The pilot suffered a minor foot injury but the passenger was not injured.
