Accident & incident history

2005-05-14 Accident · Jean, NV Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · LAX05LA171
Reported aircraft: Schweizer SGS 1-26E
Probable cause: the pilot's in-flight decision to continue a flight with weak thermal lift activity, and his delayed recognition of a loss of altitude while attempting to find a thermal in which to soar. A factor in the accident was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
