## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED A FLOCK OF BIRDS ON ROTATION. #1 ENGINE FLAMED OUT, #2 LOST RPM AS THE LANDING GEAR WAS RETRACTED. FLIGHT CREW WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ALTITUDE AND AIRSPEED. AIRCRAFT CONTACTED THE GROUND JUST NORTH OF RUNWAY 25, SLIDING APPROXIMATELY 3000 FEET THROUGH A FENCE, OVER A DITCH AND ACROSS A ROAD, COMING TO REST IN A CORNFIELD. BOTH ENGINES INGESTED NUMEROUS BIRDS AND DEBRIS, FODDING OUT THE #1 ENGINE. THE EMPENNAGE SEPARATED FROM THE FUSELAGE APPROXIMATELY ABOVE THE REAR WING SPAR. BOTH WINGS LOWER SURFACES AND THE LOWER FUSELAGE SUSTAINED IMPACT DAMAGE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
