Safety record

Accident & incident history

1996-10-06 Accident · Kutztown, PA Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · IAD97LA004
Reported aircraft: Wsk Pzl Krosno KR-03A — a different aircraft that carried the N288S registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the glider pilot's improper decision to takeoff despite the presence of a glider winch cable lying on the runway area, which led to the glider snagging the winch cable during the takeoff roll and a subsequent forced landing. A related factor was: the airport manager's improper decision to conduct aero-tow operations, while the glider winch cable was lying on the runway area.
