## Narrative

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

DURING DESCENT (0200 BODY TIME) CAPTAIN'S PERFORMANCE DETERIORATED TO THE POINT WHERE THE FIRST OFFICER SUGGESTED HE TAKE CONTROL. THE CAPTAIN CONCURRED. CAPTAIN MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET INVOLVED BUT THE FIRST OFFICER REMINDED HIM THAT HE WAS NOW THE PILOT FLYING. AFTER LANDING THE FIRST OFFICER TAXIED TO THE GATE.

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.
