03/16/2022:  PARACHUTE WAS INSPECTED BY DPRE AND OBSERVED BY FAA INSPECTOR.  NO ABNORMALITIES OR DEFICIENCIES FOUND IN RIGGING OR HARNESS. RECORDS WERE REVIEWED AND FOUND TO BE SATISFACTORY.

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.
