## Narrative

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

ENCOUNTERED SEVERE TURBULENCE ON APPROACH. FLIGHT ATTENDANT WAS BOUNCED OFF CEILING AND RECEIVED A FRACTURED ANKLE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB LAX96LA090](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX96LA090), Dec 30, 1995: ATR ATR 42-300 (N4202G), Honolulu, HI, no damage. Probable cause: the flight attendant's decision to leave her seat in an area of forecast and known moderate turbulence. The turbulence was a related factor.
