## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON 09-09-97, AT APPROXIMATELY 2150 MDT, WHILE LANDING SALT LAKE CITY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, DELTA FLIGHT #1617, A B-767-232, WAS STRUCK BY AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF BIRDS ON THE RIGHT WING LEADING EDGE JUST INBOARD OF THE #2 ENGINE AND ONE BIRD STRIKE ON THE #2 ENGINE. THE CORRECTIVE ACTION BORE SCOPED THE #2 ENGINE AND FOUND TO BE WITHIN LIMITS AND THE #2 ENGINE NOSE COWL WAS REPLACED BY MAINTENANCE. THIS IS A FINAL REPORT.

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.
