## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT'S PARACHUTE COLLAPSED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARACHUTE AT APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET AGL AS THE PILOT APPROACHED THE AIRPORT FOR LANDING. WINDS AT THE SURFACE WERE LIGHT AND VARIABLE, BUT HE ENCOUNTERED STRONG WINDS DURING HIS INITIAL CLIMB TO 500 FEET AGL WHICH LED TO HIS DECISION TO RETURN AND LAND.
