## Narrative

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

(-23) ON JUNE 21, 2002 AT 18:30E WHILE ROLLING OUT AFTER LANDING AT ZILIENOPAL PA. 8G7 ON RUNWAY 35 A PITTS S-2A N2QC WAS HIT BY A DEER. THE AIRCRAFT WAS PUSHED OFF THE RUNWAY TO THE RAMP. DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS LIMITED TO MINOR CRACKING ON THE RIGHT GEAR WHEEL FAIRING, THE PROPELLER SPINNER ASSEMBLY WAS BENT AND ONE PROPELLER BLADE TIP WAS BADLY CURLED INDICATING A SUDDEN STOPPAGE INSPECTION IS REQUIRED ON THE ENGINE. A PASSENGER RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES WHEN THE AIRCRAFT STOPPED SUDDENLY. THE OWNER/OPERATOR OF N2QC FOUND A SERVICEABLE PROPELLER AND REQUESTED A FAX-FERRY PERMIT TO GET THE AIRCRAFT FROM 8G7 TO WHEELING WV. HGL IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF A SUDDEN STOPPAGE INSPECTION ON THE ENGINE.

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.
