## Narrative

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

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

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.
