## Narrative

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

DURING CLIMB, AT APPROXIMATELY 32,000 FEET MSL, IN CLEAR AIR, THE AIRCRAFT HIT A VERY SMALL BUMP (LIGHT CHOP). IT LASTED A SECOND OR LESS. LATER, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT CALLED THE CAPTAIN AND REPORTED THAT SHE FELL AND HURT HER WRIST. FLIGHT DIVERTED TO KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI (MCI), FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
