Accident & incident history

2001-08-07 Accident · Rock Island, WA Damage: Substantial NTSB · SEA01LA147
Reported aircraft: Schweizer SGS 1-26B — a different aircraft that carried the N5768S registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The student pilot's improper inflight planning and decision (delay in establishing an approach to a suitable landing area) and his subsequent failure to attain the proper glidepath for the selected landing area, resulting in an overshoot of the selected landing area and collison with trees during landing. Factors included the pilot's lack of experience, and trees in the vicinity of the landing site.
