## Narrative

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

(-23) ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ . N457DM WAS ASSIGNED 14,000 FT MSL AND WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN 14,000 DUE TO ACCUMULATION OF ICE. N457DM DESCENDED TO 13,700 AND REPORTED VISUAL CONTACT OF ANOTHER AIRCRAFT. ATC THEN ASSIGNED N457DM A LOWER ALTITUDE.

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.
