## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: POOR CREW COORDINATION ALLOWED AIRCRAFT TO DESCEND THROUGH IT'S ASSIGNED ALTITUDE OF 7000. AIRCRAFT WAS ASSIGNED 7000 FEET ON DESCENT FOR ARRIVAL AT CLEVELAND. ROBERT SMITH THOUGHT CLEARANCE WAS TO 5000 FEET WHICH RESULTED IN A DEVIATION WITH COA 1561 AT 6000.

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.
