## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING THE APPROACH TO RUNWAY 221, AT NEWARK UAL 84 ENCOUNTERED WAKE TURBULANCE CAUSED BY THE AIRCRAFT HE WAS FOLLOWING. THE A/C WAS ABOUT 10NM AHEAD, HE THEN REMAINED HIGH ON THE GLIDE SLOPE TO STAY ABOVE THE WAKE TURBULANCE.  DURING THE FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THE TURBULANCE THE LIGHT ATTENDANTS WERE STANDING IN THE AFT GALLEY, WHEN THEY HIT THE WAKE OF THE AIRCRAFT THEY WERE FOLLOWING.  THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS WERE CHECKING TO ASCERTAIN THAT THE PASSENGERS WERE SEATED WITH THE SEAT BELTS FASTENED. ALL 4 FLIGHT ATTENDANTS SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES.

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.
