Collision on ground involving an Alexander Schleicher Segelflugzeugbau ASW 22, VH-UKG, Tintinara, South Australia, on 14 January 1996

Approaching Tintinara on a cross-country flight, lift conditions deteriorated, necessitating an outlanding. The pilot chose what appeared to be a suitable paddock and made an approach and landing. During the landing roll, as the glider came up over a rise in the terrain, a fence appeared across the landing path. The glider could not be manoeuvred to avoid the fence and a collision ensued. The pilot had not seen the fence during the visual inspection of the intended landing area from the air.
