## Narrative

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

DURING APPROACH, BELOW 10000FT, A FLIGHT ATTENDANT NOTIFIED THE FIRST OFFICER THEY HAD AN UNCONTROLLABLE LEAK IN THE FORWARD LAV. A FEW MOMENTS LATER, THE CAPTAIN RECIEVED A "SMOKE FWD LAV" WARNING. THE FIRST OFFICER RAN THE QRH FOR SMOKE FWD LAV. THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS WERE SEATED AND SECURED FOR LANDING, NOTIFIED THE CAPTAIN, IT APPEARS SMOKE IS COMING FROM THE FWD LAV. PILOT DECLARED AN EMERGENCY WITH APPROACH CONTROL FOR SMOKE IN THE FWD LAV. THE FIRST OFFICER THEN NOTIFIED THE CAPTAIN HE THOUGHT HE SMELLED SMOKE. JUST PRIOR TO LANDING, THE FIRST OFFICER NOTIFIED THE FLIGHT ATTANDANTS TO PREPARE FOR EMERGENCY EVACUATION. ONCE ON THE RUNWAY AND COMING TO A STOP, THE PARKING BRAKE WAS SET.  THE CAPTAIN THEN NOTIFIED THE ARFF IT WAS OK TO BEGIN APPROACHING THE AIRCRAFT. THE CREW EXECUTED AIRCRAFT EVACUATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EMERGENCY QUICK REFERENCE CARD. THE PILOT MADE A PA ANNOUNCMENT TO EVACUATE THE AIRCRAFT USING THE FRONT AIR STAIR DOOR ONLY, AND THEN SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINES. ALL PASENGERS AND CREW EVACUATED WITHOUT 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.
