From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: during a routine training flight the right emergency exit window opened shortly after takeoff. During the turn on base leg, the window departed the aircraft. No damage was found on the aircraft, and the area where the window departed was uninhabited. An attempt to locate the window was unsuccessful.
