## Narrative

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

(-23) N477GG WAS ON FINAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 04 AND AT APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET AGL NOTICED MULTIPLE BIRDS IN GLIDE PATH THAT HAD JUST TAKEN FLIGHT. PIC EXECUTED A GO AROUND AND STRUCK 10+ GEESE ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT. ON SUBSEQUENT PATTERN AND APPROACH THE AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. POST SHUT DOWN INSPECTION REVEALED DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING FLAP AND LEADING EDGE OF RIGHT WING, AND MULTIPLE BIRD IMPACT MARKS WITHOUT NOTICEABLE DAMAGE.

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.
