## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON RUNWAY 17 AT REDSTONE ARSENAL. WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 80 KNOTS, THREE DEER RAN ACROSS THE RUNWAY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE AIRCRAFT HIT THE FIRST DEER.

THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR DOOR AND THE RIGHT CLAM SHELL DOOR WAS DAMAGED.

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.
