## Narrative

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

DURING DESCENT INTO OMAHA, NEBRASKA THE DIGITAL FLIGHT GUIDANCE PANEL FAILED.  AN EMERENCY LANDING WAS DECLARED.  ALL SYSTEMS RETURNED TO NORMAL ON DOWNWIND AND EMERGENCY WAS CANCELED. AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.

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.
