## Narrative

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

THIS WAS THE JUMPER'S FIFTH JUMP OF THE DAY. FIRST SOLO JUMP, AFTER FOUR TANDEMS EARLIER IN THE DAY. EYEWITNESS REPORTS THAT JUMPER EXECUTED A HIGH-PERFORMANCE HOOK TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 300 TO 400 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL. THE JUMPER REALIZED HE WAS TOO LOW AND IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO SLOW HIS DESCENT AND SPEED, BUT WAS UNABLE TO MAKE CORRECTIONS ON TIME, AND STRUCK THE GROUND.

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.
