Are you sure you want all those here? Don't really want to be that
ghoulish. Actually, many people do manage to get positive gliding and soaring articles in their regional papers. If you search for glider or sailplane on news.google.com, you find more than you need. Even so, recently I wanted to understand more about a recent accident in the southeast. Two people in a glider were mentioned, but it was unclear from the media post if this was a sailplane, ultralight, or hang glider. The media narrative was rather intense related to the condition of the pilot and passenger. Going to the FAA prelim data, not only did I find that G-103, but also the DG-300 crash landing, and a PW-5(?) prelim incident which doesn't appear in the NTSB search, so it might have been a non-event. For some reason the Grob incident requires a request through NTSB public docket channels. There's no online narrative, yet. I believe there is something to be learned from each incident, so understanding what led up to the event and what the missed options were can be helpful. www.soaringsafety.org lists NTSB incidents, but only 2 of 31 so far this year. Fly safely, and land safely avoiding berms, trees, fences, wires and walls and whatever else is out there. |
