description: "Angelika Machinek was a German glider pilot. Born in the district of Holzminden, she started gliding at the age of 14, gained her pilot’s license in 1973 and received her instructor’s license in 1980. She was five times German gliding champion between 1994 and 2006 and broke nine FIA gliding world records, four in the D1M class, four in D15 and one in DO. She won the Elly-Beinhorn Rally in 1998, the first International Hexencup in 2003 and the first International Flatland Cup in Hungary, in 2006. She died while flying a microlight shortly after the last win and a fund to promote women glider pilots was set up as a legacy for her in 2007."
