## Narrative

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

(-23) BTA3899 SOUTHWEST BOUND AT FL350 REPORTED MODERATE TURBULENCE. SHORTLY THEREAFTER R04 OBSERVED BTA3899'S MODE C ALTITUDE AT FL347 AND ASKED THE PILOT TO VERIFY ALTITUDE. BTA 3899 RESPONDED THAT HE WAS EXPERIENCING WAKE TURBULENCE DUE TO ANOTHER AIRCRAFT AND WAS REQUESTING LOWER. R04 REPLIED THAT LOWER ALTITUDE WAS NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO KSS720 WHO WAS WESTBOUND AT FL330. RTA THEN REPORTED CLIMBING BACK TO FL350, HOWEVER, LOSS OF STANDARD ATC SEPARATION HAD ALREADY OCCURRED WITH KSS720.

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.
