## Narrative

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

WHILE CONDUCTING A TOUCH AND GO ON RUNWAY 14 AT SSQ, AIRCRAFT STUCK A DEER WITH THE RIGHT WING JUST AS THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON TAKEOFF ROTATION.   PILOT CONTINUED WITH THE TAKEOFF AND ENTERED THE PATTERN TO LAND AT SSQ, BUT SAW THAT THE DEER WAS STILL ON THE RUNWAY AND OPTED TO RETURN TO THE AIRCRAFT HOME BASE OF UBE DUE TO THE DEER DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE HIT THE PROPELLER AND THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY ISSUES WITH AIRCRAFT CONTROL.

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.
