What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
N80GB lost its canopy during flight, leading to a subsequent and immediate emergency landing. The canopy also struck the tail of the aircraft after it came off, resulting in what the investigating inspector estimated as "substantial damage" to the airframe by the definition specified under NTSB part 830.
Pictures of the aircraft's damage show approximately 1/4 of the right elevator surface to have been torn completely away, and portions of the canopy's structural framework to have wrapped itself around the hinge-line of the right elevator, staying with the aircraft all the way to the ground. There is also damage to the fuselage skin along the right side of the cockpit.
