## Narrative

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

(-23) ON JANUARY 7, 2008 AT 0545 LOCAL TIME, AIRCRAFT N5401Y DEPARTED FROM LYNCHBURG VIRGINIA FOR THE DESTINATION OF DUBLIN GEORGIA. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DUBLIN AIRPORT (DBN) THE PILOT DETERMINED THAT THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE BELOW MINIMUM SAFE LANDING CRITERIA.

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.
