## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) PILOT MIS-JUDGED GLIDE NEEDED TO GET BACK TO THE AIRPORT. (I PLAN TO AMEND THIS REPORT WHEN THE PILOT CAN BE INTERVIEWED).

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB DEN03LA001](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DEN03LA001), Oct 3, 2002: Let Blanik L-13 (N99805), Morgan, UT, destroyed. Probable cause: the pilot's inadequate inflight planning and decision which resulted in an unsuitable off-field landing site. A contributing factor was downdraft weather conditions.

## Other reports on N99805 (1)

Matched to the same aircraft by N-number and date.
