## Narrative

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

(-23) MR. ODENDAHL PIC AND MR. MCCLOUD SIC,  DEPARTED STOCKTON AIRPORT TO CONDUCT TRAINING. DURING THE CLIMBOUT PHASE OF TAKE-OFF, AT APPROX 2000 FEET THE AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED A BIRDSTRIKE. THE CREW DID NOT NOTICE ANY FLUCTUATION ON THE ENGINE INSTRUMENTS BUT DECIDED TO RETURN TO STOCKTON AIRPORT AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION. DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO THE LEADING EDGE OF THE LEFT WING, AT THE WING ROOT. A DENT APPROX 7 1/2" WIDE, 1 1/2" DEEP, AND A 10 INCH CREASE EXTENDING OUTBOARD WAS SUSTAINED BY THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WING.

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.
