## Narrative

THE PILOT FELT THE IMPACT OF THE BIRD AND OBSERVED A DROP/ROLLBACK OF THE #1 ENGINE. THE PILOT DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND RECEIVED CLEARANCE TO MAKE TRAFFIC FOR RUNWAY 25R. THE LANDING WAS UNEVENTFUL. POSTFLIGHT INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE REVEALED SEVERAL BENT BLADES ON THE N1 FAN SECTION AND BIRD RESIDUE IN THE INLET.

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.
