## Narrative

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

(-23)SOUTHWEST FLIGHT 1780 HIT THREE LARGE BIRDS AT APPROXIMATELY 1500 FEET WHILE ON FINAL TO RUNWAY 34L AT SLC. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT AT 2115 MDT.  THE CREW REPORTED A DENT IN THE #2 ENGINE COWLING AND THE LEADING EDGE OF THE RIGHT WING.  SALT LAKE CITY MAINTENANCE MADE SOME TEMPORARY REPAIRS AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS FERRIED TO PHX THE NEXT MORNING.

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.
