## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE PILOT STATED HE WAS ON A VFR FLIGHT FROM TMB TO EYW WHEN HE WAS ABOUT OVER THE SHORELINE OF BISCAYNE BAY DUE EAST OF HIS DEPARTURE POINT. HE SAID HE SAW SEVERAL DARK BIRDS-ONE WAS ABOVE HIM-ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE WINDSHIELD BROKE INTO PIECES AND THERE WAS A LOUD BANG. THE PILOT DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT AT TMB (TAMIAMA AIRPORT). OTHER THAN THE WINDOW NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED.

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.
