Johann Gutmann (born March 16, 1948 in Stockerau ; † June 18, 2011 in Bobbio ) was an Austrian engineer and pilot .

Life

The trained master carpenter Johann Gutmann had been active as a gliding instructor at ESV-Amstetten Flugsport since 1978. In 1983 he received the professional pilot's license with instrument flight authorization. In 1994 and 2008 he won the world title in precision flight in the sub-discipline “target countries”. He was national champion several times and took part in European and world championships. In 1997 he and his colleague Landerl took third place in the team rankings with the Austrian national team at the World Cup in Turkey.

In 1989 he began to build his own aircraft, a Glasair II-SRG. Seven years later he went on a solo flight around the world. The flight started in Wels and lasted 167 hours. Gutmann later processed this experience in his book Mein Flug um die Welt - Diary of a solo flight around the world in a self-made airplane .

In 2010 Gutmann became President of the Motor Flight Commission (GAC) of the FAI and the Lower Austrian Regional Association of the Austrian Aero Club .

For a previously unexplained cause, Gutmann's Cessna 172 aircraft crashed on June 18, 2011 in Bobbio. Another person died in the crash. An initially seriously injured fellow passenger died later in hospital due to severe burns and fractures.

Gutmann left a wife and a daughter.
