PLT OF HOT AIR BALLOON UNABLE TO LAND AT PLANNED LNDG SITE ACCOUNT WINDS. LNDG AT ALTERNATE SITE CAUSED ALTERCATION WITH PROPERTY OWNER.

Narrative

I RPTED FOR A SCHEDULED SIGHTSEEING FLT COMMENCING APPROX 2 MI S OF U59. LCL SURFACE WINDS; AS RPTED BY FLT SVC AT XA55; WERE CALM TO LIGHT. THE FORECASTED WINDS ALOFT WERE RPTED AS LIGHT AND VARIABLE AT 6000 FT AND 9000 FT; AND 4-5 DME AT 12000 FT. VISUAL OBSERVATION INDICATED THAT SURFACE WINDS WERE FROM THE SSW. I LAUNCHED AT APPROX XB20; INTENDING TO FLY FOR APPROX 60 MINS; FOLLOWING A TYPICAL FLT PATTERN TO THE N. AFTER APPROX 60 MINS OF FLT; A DSCNT WAS INITIATED TO ALIGN FOR LNDG APCH. THE SURFACE WIND DIRECTION WAS NOT AS EXPECTED; THE APCH WAS ABORTED. AN ALTERNATE LNDG AREA WAS REACHED AFTER APPROX 90 MINS OF TOTAL FLT TIME. THERE WERE ABOUT 6 GALLONS OF USABLE FUEL REMAINING ON BOARD; AND THERE WAS A LARGE GROVE OF TREES BEYOND THE INTENDED LNDG SITE; SO I RAPIDLY DSNDED AND BEGAN A N/NORTHWESTERLY LNDG APCH. I LANDED ON THE SHOULDER OF PUBLIC ACCESS ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. TOTAL FLT TIME WAS 1.7 HRS. THERE WERE 5.9 GALLONS OF FUEL REMAINING ON BOARD. DURING THE LNDG DSCNT; I FLEW BTWN A HOME AND AN ADJOINING HORSE PASTURE. THE ALT OF MY ACFT WAS APPROX 40 FT AGL WHILE XING THIS PROPERTY. ALTHOUGH THE RESIDENT HORSES DID NOT SEEM INTIMIDATED OR UPSET AT THE SIGHT OF THE BALLOON OR THE NOISE OF THE BURNER; THE FEMALE RESIDENT OF THE HOME WAS IRATE; SCREAMING AT ME AND THE OTHER OCCUPANTS OF MY ACFT. THE FEMALE APCHED MY ACFT WHILE I WAS STABILIZING IT. HER AGGRESSIVE DEMEANOR WAS THREATENING AND I RADIOED A FELLOW PLT FOR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE. THE FEMALE REACHED MY ACFT BEFORE THE OTHER PLT DID AND MY PAX AND I REMAINED IN THE ACFT. SHE LEFT THE AREA WITHOUT INCIDENT. EVEN THOUGH A COMMON LNDG AREA WAS EVENTUALLY REACHED AND THE FLT TERMINATED WITHOUT INCIDENT; THE FLT PATH WAS NOT TYPICAL; EITHER IN DIRECTION OR SPD. THIS ATYPICAL FLT PATTERN RESULTED IN DEPLETED FUEL RESERVES; A FORCED LNDG AT A PLACE WHERE THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR ERROR WITHOUT RISK TO MY PAX AND ACFT; AND CONSIDERABLE STRESS. IF FLT SVC WAS ABLE TO MORE ACCURATELY RPT WX CONDITIONS AT U59; FLT DECISIONS COULD BE BASED ON MORE THAN PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS AND WE WOULD BE BETTER PREPARED WITH REGARD TO OUR FLT DECISIONS.
