## Narrative

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

DURING DESCENT INTO THE ALBERT LEA, MN AIRPORT (KAEL), THE AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED A FLOCK OF GEESE.  TWO OF THE GEESE STRUCK THE AIRCRAFT CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE.

DAMAGE CONSISTED OF A DENT IN THE RIGHT WING LEADING EDGE MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 19" WIDE AND 5" DEEP.  REMNANTS OF A STRIKE COULD ALSO BE SEEN ON ONE OF THE FOUR COMPOSITE PROPELLER BLADES ON THE LEFT ENGINE AND ON THE FACE OF THE HEAT EXCHANGER ON THE INBOARD LEFT WING LEADING EDGE.

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.
