## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN FROM CHICAGO, IL TO SAN ANTONIO, TX N898CB, A CESSNA 560, EXPERIENCED A RAPID LOSS OF PRESSURIZATION AROUND DALLAS, TX. THE PILOT REPORTED THE DECOMPRESSION AT 24,000 FT. AND REQUESTED AN EMERGENCY DESCENT. THE AIRCRAFT WAS DIVERTED TO DALLAS LOVE FIELD, TX LANDING WITHOUT INCIDENT AT 2025 CDT, 06/03/96. INVESTIGATION OF THE PROBLEM REVEALED THAT THE DOOR SEAL AIR SUPPLY LINE WAS CONTAMINATED WITH WATER, AND DID NOT SEAL. WHEN THE BACK-UP DOOR SEAL FAILED, THE AIRCRAFT DEPRESSURIZED.

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.
