## Narrative

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

THIS OFFICE RECEIVED AN INCIDENT REPORT FROM THE HOU ATC TOWER INDICATING THAT ON NOVEMBER 18, 2022, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ DECLARED AN EMERGENCY WHEN THE SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED AS THE AIRCRAFT CLIMBED THROUGH 3,500 FEET. THE REPORTING INSPECTOR CONTACTED THE PIC FOR DETAILS OF THE INCIDENT AND ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN. THE PIC INDICATED THAT THE CO-PILOTS SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE CLIMBING THROUGH FL330 ENROUTE TO KEYW (NOT 3,500 FEET). PIC INDICATED THAT THE WINDOW REMAINED INTACT AND PRESSURIZATION REMAINED CONSTANT.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS DIVERTED TO KHOU AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE BROKEN SIDE WINDOW WAS REPLACED AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE COMPLETED BEFORE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.

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.
