From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Just as the aircraft was touching down, the aircraft collided with a deer that ran across the runway. The aircraft hit the deer with the propeller and the deer went under the center of the aircraft. The pilot did not loose control of the aircraft and taxied off the runway to the parking area. The aircraft sustained damage to the propeller, nosewheel fairing and underside of the fuselage. The pilot was the sole occupant and was uninjured.
