From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot bounced balloon on initial landing and pilot hit burner to recover when he should have vented and accepted the bounce. The increased lift charried balloon into wires where the balloon shorted out the electrical power line.
As the FAA filed it
PILOT BOUNCED BALLOON ON INITIAL LANDING AND PILOT HIT BURNER TO RECOVER WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE VENTED AND ACCEPTED THE BOUNCE. THE INCREASED LIFT CHARRIED BALLOON INTO WIRES WHERE THE BALLOON SHORTED OUT THE ELECTRICAL POWER LINE.
