## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS IN A MILD RIGHT HAND TURN WHEN HE WAS STRUCK BY WHAT APPEARED TO BE A LARGE GOOSE.  PILOT SAW A FAMILIAR GRASS STRIP AND LANDED THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
