## Narrative

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

ON APRIL 17, 2011 AT APPROXIMATELY 1627 EASTERN TIME, AIRCRAFT N812CA, A BOMBARDIER CL-600-2B19, OPERATING UNDER TITLE 14 CFR PART 121, OPERATED BY COMAIR (COMA), FLIGHT NUMBER 6427, WHILE DESCENDING INTO  PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (KPIT) ENCOUNTERED TURBULENCE.  DURING THE TURBULENCE THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT FELL INJURING HER LEFT ARM AND BACK, PLUS SHE BECAME NAUSEOUS.THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON RUNWAY 28L AND TAXIED TO THE GATE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  SHORTLY AFTER ARRIVING AT THE TERMINAL, THE CREW REQUESTED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT.  THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT, HOWEVER, REFUSED MEDICAL ATTENTION.  THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT, HOWEVER, DID NOT CONTINUE ON WITH THE NEXT FLIGHT AND WENT TO HER HOME IN PITTSBURGH.A FOLLOW-UP TELEPHONE CALL WITH THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT REVEALED SHE WAS NOT HOSPITALIZED AND HAD ONLY SEEN A CHIROPRACTOR FOR HER BACK PAIN.  ADDITIONALLY, COMAIR HAD REQUESTED SHE VISIT A DOCTOR THEY HAD SELECTED.THERE WERE NO OTHER INJURIES TO THE COCKPIT CREW OR PASSENGERS.  ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS NO NOTED DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.  COMAIR MAINTENANCE SUBSEQUENTLY DOWNLOADED THE DIGITAL FLIGHT DATA RECORDER (DFDR) TO DETERMINE IF THE TURBULENCE WAS CONSIDERED SEVERE.  THE G FORCE INDICATIONS DIDN'T INDICATE THIS WAS A SEVERE TURBULENCE EVENT.IT APPEARS THE ACTION OF THE CREW DIDN'T CONTRIBUTE TO THIS EVENT.   THE CERTIFICATE MANAGEMENT OFFICE (CMO) PRINCIPAL INSPECTORS WERE NOTIFIED OF THIS EVENT.

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.
