LBL 90A (G-JEMI), heavy landing, Forncett End, Norfolk, 10 August 2024
The pilot reported making an approach into a 바카라 사이트渓arge field바카라 사이트� where several other balloons had already landed. During the initial stage of the approach, they saw a horse in a field below them and elected to delay their descent until they had passed it. They then commenced a steep approach into the target field. When the pilot attempted to reduce the descent rate using one of the balloon바카라 사이트檚 burners, they thought it 바카라 사이트渟ounded different,바카라 사이트� ie not firing correctly, so fired the other burner instead. While the second burner worked normally, the need to switch burners reduced the time available to slow the descent rate and the pilot was not able to arrest it sufficiently before touchdown. This resulted in a heavy landing, during which a passenger suffered a broken collarbone after banging their shoulder against one of the gas canisters. The pilot reported that the passenger was an experienced flyer who was seated in 바카라 사이트渢he correct landing position바카라 사이트� before touchdown and that they have since made a full recovery.
