## Narrative

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

STRUCK A LARGE BIRD IN FLIGHT. IMPACT DENTED WING LEADING EDGE. LANDED IN A FIELD TO CHECK DAMAGE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
