## Narrative

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

ON DECENT INTO DENVER, SKW 5568 ENCOUNTERED SEVERE TURBULENCE FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 SECONDS. 2 FLIGHT ATTENDANT CREW MEMBERS RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES AND 1 PASSENGER WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL AS A PRECAUTION. THE PASSENGER WAS RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL WITH NO INJURIES. AW INSPECTOR REVIEWED MAINTENANCE INSPECTION RECORDS WHICH SHOWED NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
