## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING CLIMB OUT PILOT NOTED A BLEED AIR PRESSURIZATION DUCT SPLIT. THE DIFFERENCE EVENTUALLY GOT TO 40 PSI AND AT THAT POINT DURING CLIMB OUT, THE PILOT ELECTED TO RETURN DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE AT THE NEXT STATION.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT AT MCI AND WAS TURNED OVER TO MAINTENANCE.  IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A HIGH STAGE REGULATOR WAS FAULTY IN ADDITION TO A CRACKED BLEED DUCT.  AFTER REPLACEMENT OF BOTH PARTS, THE A/C WAS OPERATED FROM MCI ON A TEST FLIGHT TO CONFIRM REPAIR.  THE A/C WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE UPON ITS RETURN TO MCI.  WITH THIS REPORT INCIDENT #CE99IAC0082 IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

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.
