What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: at 2030 LCL time on 4/30/95 a hot air balloon with four passengers and a flight crew of one lifted off from the parking area at wedgewood manor hotel in Fairbanks, Alaska. At approximately 2130 LCL time on descent for landing at approximately 500' AGL the balloon entered increased wind speed causing false lift effect. Upon descending thru that layer of air there was insufficient heat to maintain level flight and the basket of the balloon contacted power lines. It then bounced back and resumed normal flight control and landed without further incident. The airborn heater was operating normally. Corrective action: may 8, 1995, met with samuel racina and counseled him on balloon ops in congested areas. Also discussed the occurrence of inversion layers near the surface in the late evening.
