## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: COMA 3736 DEPARTED EWR AND RECEIVED AN AMENDED CLEARANCE TO CLIMB TO AND MAINTAIN 4,000 FEET. THE 4,000 FEET RESTRICTION WAS READ BACK. COMA 3736 CLIMBED TO 4,800 FEET. COMA 3736 THOUGHT THEY WERE CLEARED TO 6,000 FEET. THEIR ACTION CAUSED A CONFLICT WITH N84099 AT 5,000 FEET.

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.
