## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT WAS AT 2500 FEET MSL, AT NIGHT, WHEN IT FLEW INTO A FLOCK OF GEESE.  THE IMPACT WITH THE GEESE DAMAGED THE RIGHT WING, HORIZONTAL STABILIZER. PROPELLER SPINNER AND A LANDING GEAR HOUSING.  THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT AT THE DENISON, IA, AIRPORT WITHOUT INCIDENT.

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.
