## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ STATED, THAT APPROXIMATELY 11:39 LOCAL TIME, DEPARTED SAN JUAN AIRPORT INBOUND TO MIAMI AIRPORT. SHORTLY AFTER TAKE OFF, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT CAME TO THE COCKPIT AND REPORTED HEARING AND FEELING A SOLID "THUMP" DURING TAKE-OFF ROLL. THE PILOT ^PRIVACY ^ STATED HE AND THE CO-PILOT ALSO HEARD A NOISE AND THEY BOTH ASSUMED THAT NOISE WAS FROM THE NOSE WHEEL SOUND GOING OVER THE RECESSED RUNWAY CENTERLINE LIGHT WHICH IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS SAN JUAN ATC ADVISED THEM THAT SOMEONE ON THE GROUND OBSERVED A TIRE SEPARATE FROM THE AIRPLANE DURING TAKEOFF. AFTER GROUND PERSONNEL IDENTIFIED THE TIRE, THE PILOT ^PRIVACY ^ CONFIRMED THAT TIRE WAS BELONG TO HIS AIRCRAFT. BECAUSE THERE WERE NO ABNORMALITIES WITH THE AIRPLANE, HE ELECTED TO CONTINUE HIS FLIGHT TO MIAMI WHERE HE LANDED SAFELY.

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.
