## Narrative

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

PIC ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ REPORTED THAT AFTER LEVELING OFF AT FLIGHT LEVEL 270 THE PILOT SIDE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED. THEY FOLLOWED CHECKLIST AND RETURNED TO BHM. THE AIRCRAFT IS IN MAINTENANCE FOR REPAIR AND EVALUATION.

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.
