## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE PILOT REPORTED MODERATE AIRCRAFT ICING ON APPROACH TO AIRPORT. THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT HAVE DEICING EQUIPMENT. HE ADVISED APPROACH CONTROL THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS LOSING ALTITUDE. AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED. THE AIRCRAFT COMPLETED THE APPROACH AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE PILOT WAS COUNSELED TO OBTAIN IN FLIGHT WEATHER ADVISORIES.

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.
