## Narrative

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

WHILE ENROUTE FROM HII TO PHX, AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED TURBULENT METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS. PILOT HEARD FLAPPING SOUND COMING FROM RIGHT WING.  PILOT LANDED AT PHX WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  AFTER FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED RUBBER AERODYNAMIC TRIM CAME COME LOOSE AT RIGHT WING TO FUSELAGE FAIRING.  AIRCRAFT WAS REPAIRED AND APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.

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.
