## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS BEING VECTORED AT 4000 FT TO AN ILS APPROACH TO RWY 36R. SHORTLY AFTER INTECEPTING THE FINAL APPROACH COURSE,  IT ENCOUNTERED TURBULENCE, WHICH WAS DESCRIBED BY THE CREW AS MODERATE, BORDERING ON SEVERE. A BREAKOUT WAS FLOWN AND THE AIRCRAFT FLEW AN UNEVENTFUL SECOND APPROACH. AFTER LANDING, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT ADVISED THE CAPTAIN THAT SOME OF THE  PASSENGERS REPORTED BUMPING THEIR HEADS DURING THE TURBULENCE ENCOUNTER. ONE OF THE INJURED, A FEMALE, HAD AN INFANT IN HER ARMS. THE CREW CALLED FOR EMS, WHO RESPONDED AT THE GATE. THE PASSENGERS WERE EXAMINED BY EMS PERSONNEL. NONE OF THE THREE EXAMINED EXPRESSED A NEED TO BE TAKEN TO A MEDICAL FACILITY.

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.
