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

THE PILOT FURTHER STATED THAT, ALTHOUGH THE AIRPLANE'S CLIMB RATE WAS AT OR NEAR MINIMUM PERFORMANCE, HE HAD TO DECIDE IF THE CLIMB RATE WOULD CLEAR ELECTRICAL HIGH LINE ACROSS HIS FLIGHT PATH.

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.
