## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT STATED THAT HE ARRIVED AT QUINCY MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (UIN) AT 19:45 AND MADE ON TOUCH AND GO ON RWY 22 AT UIN. AT 20:00 HE WAS MAKING ANOTHER TOUCH AND GO USING RWY 22 WHEN AN ADULT BUCK DEER RAN INTO THE LINE OF TRAVEL FROM THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AT APPROXIMATELY ONE THIRD THE DISTANCE OF RWY 22, STRIKING THE OUTBOARD RIGHT WING, JUST AS HE WAS ROTATING FOR TAKEOFF. THE APPROXIMATE SPEED AT THE TIME OF IMPACT WAS 75 KNOTS. VISIBILITY WAS GOOD, AND THE SKY WAS CLEAR, HOWEVER THERE WAS NO MOONLIGHT MAKING IT A VERY DARK NIGHT. AFTER IMPACT HE REDUCED POWER, GOT THE AIRCRAFT UNDER CONTROL AND USED THE REMAINING RUNWAY TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN TAXIED TO THE FBO.
