## Narrative

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

ON FEBRUARY 4, 2010,  AT 1730  MDT, A LOCKHEED P2V-7 HAD ITS CANOPY SEPARATE FROM THE AIRCRAFT JUST AFTER GEAR UP AT ~ 300 AGL AT MISSOULA, MONTANA WHILE ON A MAINTENANCE TEST FLIGHT WHILE OPERATING UNDER PROVISIONS OF TITLE 14 CFR  PART 137.  VISUAL METEROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.  THE PLANNED MISSION WAS PATTERN ONLY. THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE.  TWO PEOPLE WERE ON-BOARD, THE PILOT AND COPILOT.  NO INJURIES.  THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED AND TERMINATED AT KMSO, MISSOULA, MONTANA.  A MALFUNCTION/DEFECT REPORT 8010-4 WAS SUBMITTED ON THE CANOPY BY THE OPERATOR.

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.
