## Narrative

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

(-23) ^PRIVACY DATA OMITT^ AIRCRAFT IN CRUISE CONFIGURATION AT FLIGHT LEVEL 15000 FEET WHEN A WINDOW FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT BLEW OUT. PILOT EXECUTED AN IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY DESCENT AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. SUSPECT WINDOW IS LOCATED IN 1ST POSITION BEHIND THE PILOT SIDE WINDOW.

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.
