## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT DEPARTED OME FOR SVA WITH ONE PASSENGER AND STRUCK A BIRD (LOON) ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE NOSE JUST FORWARD OF THE COPILOTS WINDOW.  THE CREW RETURNED TO OME AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY FERRIED TO FAI FOR REPAIRS.  DAMAGE WAS CLASSIFIED AS MINOR AND NTSB IIC ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ DECLINED IT AS AN ACCIDENT.  ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^AL011200802432^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^IAL012008007^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
