What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: Mr. Duricka was on a pleasure flight and was approximately 20 miles west of green river, Utah. Mr. Duricka said "he felt a very unusual momentary thud or vibration which he thought was a bird strike". Mr. Duricka went on to say "I did not know what had caused it so I decided the safest thing to do was make a precautionary landing and check for damage". Upon landing, on an old dirt runway, the left wing leading edge hit a bush the aircraft veered to the left and the propeller hit a small tree. This is a final report.
