## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: WHILE ENROUTE FROM LGA TO MIA, CREW DETECTED A VIBRATION DURING ALL PHASES OF FLIGHT. CREW REPORTED THE VIBRATION INCREASED RELATIVE TO THE INCREASE IN AIRSPEED. CREW ELECTED TO DIVERT TO RDU TO HAVE MAINTENANCE INSPECT THE AIRCRAFT FOR THE NOTED VIBRATION. AIRCRAFT LANDED AT RDU WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND FOUND THE EXTERNAL POWER PANEL DOOR UNSECURED. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE LATCHING MECHANISM AND FOUND NO APPARENT DEFECT. MAINTENANCE FURTHER PERFORMED THE OVER-WEIGHT INSPECTION AND RELEASED THE AIRCRAFT TO SERVICE.

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.
