SUMMARY
An aircraft of the model SAAB MFI 15 took off from Sundbro, Uppsala, for a
VFR flight to Johannisberg, Västerås. Shortly thereafter began winching of a
paraglider from Härkeberga, located along the aircraft's route.
At the final stage of the winching, at about 350 meters altitude, the paraglider
pilot saw an airplane coming straight at him at a slightly lower altitude. The
aircraft passed below the paraglider a few seconds later without colliding. The
height difference was estimated by the paraglider pilot to about 50 feet and the
distance to the line was 1 to 3 meters.
The pilot of the aircraft never perceived the event. The map data that the pilot
used - and which is the most widely used in general aviation - had no special
marking of the paragliding activities at Härkeberga. Neither the paraglider nor
the aircraft flew at altitudes implying contact with controlled airspace.
In order to investigate the possible consequences, SHK commissioned a study
of a hypothetical sequence of events where the aircraft collides with the line.
The overall conclusion from the study is that no serious consequences would
have occurred in a collision between the aircraft and the paraglider line.
The incident was caused by the pilot's flight maps lacking data on paragliding
activities at Härkeberga which meant that the flight could not be planned and
carried out safely. Contributing factor has been reduced visibility due to
backlight conditions.
