## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PARACHUTE INSTRUCTOR WAS SUPERVISING A FREE FALL STUDENT. THE INSTRUCTOR EXITED THE AIRCRAFT FACING INBOARD FROM THE STEP, WITH BOTH FEET ON THE STEP, LEANING OUT AND CLINGING TO THE WING STRUT. WHILE WAITING FOR THE STUDENT TO EXIT THE AIRCRAFT THE INSTRUCTOR SLIPPED DOWN SOMEWHAT AND PULLED HIMSELF BACK UP CAUSING HIS PILOT CHUTE TO DISLODGE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTAINER (BOC). THE PILOT CHUTE WENT OVER THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER AND THE INSTRUCTOR DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT. IT APPEARS THAT THE PILOT CHUTE BRIDLE WENT INTO THE GAP BETWEEN THE STABILIZER AND THE ELEVATOR BALANCE HORN. THE ELEVATOR WAS SLIGHTLY BENT AT THE OUTBOARD HINGE POINT. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED UNEVENTFULLY. THE JUMPER'S MAIN PARACHUTE OPENED AND HE WAS ABLE TO LAND WITHOUT INJURY. THE JUMPER'S BOC PILOT CHUTE POUCH WAS TIGHT AND DID NOT APPEAR TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE INCIDENT. JUMPER NAME: ^PRIVACY DAT^, 230 JUMPS WITH A USPA C LICENSE, MAIN PARACHUTE: IACRUS CROSSFIRE, PACKED JUST PRIOR TO THE JUMP BY THE JUMPER. RESERVE PARACHUTE NOT USED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
