Recent Pipistrel Doo Ajdovscina VIRUS SW accidents
An encounter with a downdraft during landing that resulted in a hard landing and the pilot’s loss of control.
The loss of engine power while the motor-powered glider was maneuvering due to the fuel unporting in its fuel tank, which resulted in fuel starvation and a subsequent forced landing on unsuitable terrain.
The pilot's failure to attain adequate airspeed during an attempted go-around, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.
The pilot's failure to obtain adequate airspeed during takeoff, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall/spin.
The pilot's intentional flight into an area of known convective thunderstorm activity, which resulted in an in-flight breakup.
The pilot’s failure to review the Federal Aviation Administration chart supplement before landing, which resulted in his landing on a closed runway and collision with a fence. Contributing to the accident was the airport’s failure to adequately mark the physical surface of the runway to indicate that it was permanently closed.
