## Narrative

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

AT FL 430 CREW EXPERIENCED COMPLETE HYDRAULIC FAILURE.  ATC WAS NOTIFIED AND A DECENT WAS INITIATED TO FL 380 DUE TO NO SPOILER LIMITATION.  AS THE DESCENT WAS CONTINUED PASSENGERS WERE NOTIFIED  AND EMERGENCY DECLARED FOR LANDING INTO PORT COLUMBUS.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON RUNWAY 28L AND WAS TOWED OFF OF THE RUNWAY.

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.
