THE PARAGLIDER IMPACTED MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN AND WAS CONSUMED BY FIRE. THE OPERATOR RECEIVED FATAL INJURIES. THE MAKE AND MODEL OF THE PARAGLIDER IS UNKNOWN.

NO OTHER TYPE OF FAA ISSUED AIRMAN CERTIFICATE WAS FOUND FOR THE OPERATOR. 14 CFR 103 DOES NOT HAVE ANY SPECIFIC REGULATORY PERIODIC INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PARAGLIDER.

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.
