## Narrative

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

ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 AT 0726 EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME (EDT), AN AIR CARRIER OR TAXI ACCIDENT/INCIDENT REPORT WAS CREATED FOR, N837UP, A BEECHCRAFT B300, WITH SERIAL NUMBER FL-967, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^. AT 0723 EDT, N837UP WAS IN ITS INITIAL CLIMB OUT AFTER DEPARTING PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (PIT) EN ROUTE TO NASHVILLE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (BNA) WHEN THE PILOT IN COMMAND (PIC) HEARD A LOUD CLICKING SOUND AND NOTICED THE LEFT HAND WINDSHIELD WAS BEGINNING TO CRACK. UPON HIS OBSERVATION, HE ALERTED THE SECOND IN COMMAND (SIC), WHO WAS FLYING THE AIRCRAFT, TO STOP HIS CLIMB. THE PIC THEN CONTACTED AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL (ATC), DECLARED AN EMERGENCY, AND REQUESTED A RETURN TO PIT. ATC PROVIDED VECTORS FOR LANDING TO RUNWAY 32 AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO PIT WITHOUT FURTHER 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.
