| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During a parachute drop operation, when the last parachutist was about to exit the cabin, his reserve parachute opened. The parachutist was violently dragged backward and his parachute hit the right hand stabilizer and elevator, causing damage. The parachutist broke free and landed safely. The pilot temporarily lost control of the aircraft, regained control and managed to land safely.
Conclusion
The accident was caused by the premature deployment of a reserve parachute. The reserve parachute control cable was probably pulled out by an inadvertent contact with a protruding object located on the ceiling of the cabin or on the door frame.
