What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: flight crew reported enroute and inbound of a possible chemical spill. Their exposure time to unrecognizable fumes was approximately 30 minutes prior to landing. They reported eye irritations and were experiencing ill effects to ATC, the crew were all on 100% oxygen. The aircraft landed phl R27L without incident. The crew was transported to a local hospital. After a brief observation, all members were released. One crew member's blood pressure level was observed as elevated due to the abnormal event, but nothing out of the ordinary. No crew members were reportedly incapacitated as per CFR 40 part 830.5(2) reporting requirements. A complete inspection of all the aircraft's cargo within the fuselage and cargo compartments disclosed no chemical or liquid spillage had occurred. Company maintenance personnel discovered an overheated and burned ballast sub-assembly (part number PNBA170MODB) in the cockpit's left hand overhead glare shield fluorescent light assembly, it's surrounding areas were inspected and noted as unaffected by this overheated condition. Company maintenance personnel also observed this light's control switch in the on position when they entered the cockpit to trouble shoot the reported fumes. The aircraft was returned to service after the replacement of the effected light assembly was completed. The passenger was identified as a ups captain on the jump seat (Mr. Craig toth). This incident is considered closed.
