## Narrative

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

(-23)  AIRCRAFT WAS ON A VISUAL APPROACH TO KLCI IN NIGHT, VMC CONDITIONS.  PIC STATED THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY BIRD ACTIVITY IN THE AIRPORT AREA.  AT APPROXIMATELY 75 FT ABOVE THE AIRPORT PIC & SIC HEARD A LOUD BUMP IN THE REAR OF THE AIRCRAFT APPARENTLY ON THE LEFT SIDE.  PIC DID NOT SEE THE BIRD EVEN WITH ALL THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING ILLUMINATED.  DURING POST FLIGHT INSPECTION FLIGHT CREW IDENTIFIED DAMAGE TO THE LEFT TRAILING EDGE FLAP.  THE DAMAGE STARTED AT THE MIDDLE OF THE FLAP CHORD JUST OUTSIDE AND BEHIND THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR.  THE DAMAGE WAS AN INDENTATION THAT DEFORMED THE FLAP UP AND BULGED INTO THE UPPER FLAP SURFACE.  CREW DROVE OUT ON THE RUNWAY AND FOUND A LARGE GOOSE DEAD ON THE RUNWAY JUST LEFT OF THE CENTERLINE AND APPROXIMATELY 1000 FT FROM THE THRESHOLD.  DURING FURTHER INSPECTION THE NEXT DAY IN DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS FLIGHT CREW DISCOVERED A DENT IN THE LEADING EDGE SLAT THAT APPEARED TO BE IN THE SAME CORRESPONDING POSITION AS THE TAILING EDGE FLAP DAMAGE.  FLAP AND SLAT REPLACED BEFORE FURTHER FLIGHT. END.

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.
