## Narrative

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

ON APRIL 16, 2013 AT 2050 A 1973 CESSNA MODEL 414 SERIAL NUMBER 414-0428 STRUCK A DEER WHILE LANDING ON RUNWAY 08 AT ATLANTA FULTON COUNTY AIRPORT. ACCORDING TO THE PIC, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ THE DEER STRUCK THE LEFT PROPELLER WHILE ROLLING OUT AFTER LANDING ON RUNWAY 08. THE LEFT GEAR DOOR AND FLAP WAS DAMAGED.  THIS INSPECTOR INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT ON THE HILL AVIATION RAMP ON APRIL 17TH AT 0850 AND DETERMINED THAT THE DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO THE PROPELLER, LEFT GEAR DOOR AND LEFT FLAP. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE DAMAGE WAS NOT SUBSTANTIAL AND THE NTSB (JAY NEYLON) WAS ADVISED THAT THE EVENT WILL BE TREATED AS AN INCIDENT.

ON APRIL 18, 2013 THE FTY AIRPORT MANAGER DOUG BARRETT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^) WAS CONTACTED BY THIS OFFICE AND MR. BARRETT INDICATED THAT THE AIRPORT HAS EXTENSIVE FENCING AND ELECTRIC FENCING AS WELL AN EXTENSIVE WILDLIFE MITIGATION PROGRAM.

PIC ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ STATEMENT:

I WAS FLYING A C-414, N1648T ON A FLIGHT FROM HSV TO FTY.  I DEPARTED

HSV AT APPROXIMATELY 7:00 PM CDT ON AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN TO FTY WITH

MYSELF AND ONE PASSENGER ON BOARD.  APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES OUT FROM FTY

I WAS CLEARED FOR A VISUAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 8.  AFTER LANDING AT

AROUND 8:50 P.M. EDT, APPROXIMATELY 2-3 SECONDS AFTER THE NOSEWHEEL

TOUCHED DOWN, I SAW A SMALL HERD OF DEER, AT LEAST 6 OR MORE RUNNING

FROM THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE RUNWAY TO THE NORTH.  THE DEER PASSED ON BOTH

SIDES OF THE AIRCRAFT AND ONE WAS HIT BY THE LEFT PROPELLER, DAMAGING

THE PROPELLER, LANDING GEAR DOOR, AND FLAP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE

AIRCRAFT.  I CONTACTED THE TOWER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED, THEY

THEN ASKED ME TO DO A 180 ON THE RUNWAY TO INSPECT FOR ANY DEBRIS ON THE

RUNWAY.  I DID AS REQUESTED AND SAW HALF OF A DEER IN THE RUNWAY AT

ABOUT TAXIWAY JULIET AND RUNWAY 8 ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.  I

THEN TAXIED TO THE RAMP TO INSPECT FOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.  THERE

WERE NO INJURIES TO ANYONE ON BOARD.
