## Narrative

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

ACCIDENT AIRCRAFT (POWERED PARACHUTE) DEPARTED HUNTINGTON, UTAH AIRPORT WITH 4 OTHER AIRCRAFT ENROUTE TO SID AND CHARLEY MONUMENT, WHICH IS ABOUT AN HOUR FLIGHT TO THE SOUTH.  ALL 5 AIRCRAFT LANDED UNEVENTFULLY.  DURING DEPARTURE FROM SID AND CHARLEY, ACCIDENT AIRCRAFT CLIMBED TO APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET WHEN THE PILOT RADIOED THAT HE HAD A PROBLEM.  WITNESSES SAW THE AIRCRAFT IN A DESCENDING LEFT HAND TURN THAT APPEARED TO BECOME INCREASINGLY TIGHTER.  THEY ALSO NOTICED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PARACHUTE DEFLECTING DOWNWARD.  THE AIRCRAFT CRASHED INTO A GULLY FATALLY INJURING THE PILOT.

WITNESSES STATED THAT AFTER INITIAL LANDING THEY HAD TO TURN THEIR AIRCRAFT BACK INTO THE WIND FOR TAKE-OFF.
