## Narrative

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

(-5)DURING TAKEOFF OF RUNWAY 36 AT MURFREESBORO MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (MBT) AT ROTATION SPEED THE PILOT NOTICED A DEER IN HIS PATH SLIGHTLY LEFT OF CENTER LINE. THE PILOT LIFTED OFF AND AS THE AIRCRAFT CLIMBED OUT IT STRUCK THE DEER.  THE PILOT NOTICED A SLIGHT  VIBRATION BUT THE AIRCRAFT WAS MAKING POWER AND WAS CLIMBING WELL SO HE OPTED TO CLIMB OUT AND GO AROUND FOR A LANDING.  ANOTHER PILOT AT THE AIRPORT TOOK OFF TO REUNDEVIEW WITH N7090F TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY GEAR DAMAGE.  UPON ARRIVING IN A DISTANT FORMATION WITH THE AIRCRAFT HE REPORTED THAT THERE WAS NO APPARENT GEAR FAILURE WHICH WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE GEAR INDICATION IN THE COCKPIT.  THE PILOT RETURNED AND LANDED SAFELY.  UPON ENGINE SHUT DOWN THE PILOT NOTICED A SMALL PIECE OF THE LEFT PROPELLER TIP MISSING (APPROXIMATELY 1" X 2").

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.
