## Narrative

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

ONE HOUR INTO A FLIGHT FROM NASSAU BAHAMAS (MYNN) TO ADDISON TEXAS (KADS), AT FL350 OVER FLORIDA IN NORMAL CRUISE AND SMOOTH AIR THE FRONT LEFT SIDE WINDOW CRACKED AND SPIDER-WEBBED.  IT CAUSE A LOUD POP. BUT NO PRESSURIZATION ISSUES.  THE PASSENGER/OWNER DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE AND WANTED TO LAND.  AIRCREW REQUESTED TO DESCEND AND CLEARANCE TO AN AIRPORT WITH CUSTOMS.  THEY CHOSE SARASOTA.  THEY COMPLETED DESCENT AND LANDING IN SRQ WITHOUT FURTHER ISSUES.  AIRCRAFT WAS FERRIED NEXT DAY TO ORLANDO WHERE WINDOW WAS REPLACED.

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.
