The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On 02/15/2007, during repositioning flight from kpwm to kcvg, flight crew noticed smoke radiate in the area of the left side tray table in the cabin. Crew then declared an emergency and diverted to kalb. Cvga maintenance traced the problem to a failed gasket in the fuselage exit duct (wing anti-ice) transverse duct assembly.

Aircraft was returned to service without further difficulty.
