Pilot statement:
Event: deer strike
Date: 7/31/2017
Time: 00:30 local
Airport: kjzi
Registration: N821DF
Call sign: JTL82
Flight rule: part 91, IFR flight plan, vfr/night conditions
Flight plan: kpdk - kjzi
"During our night, VFR landing rollout (runway 9 dry conditions) two small deers ran across the runway, right to left, and were struck by the aircraft. I, as the PIC pf, maneuver the aircraft slightly off the center line to avoid an additional 4-7 animals beginning a dash across the runway; that herd was avoided. After clearing runway 9 on intersection delta, an after landing checklist was completed. As we conducted a normal taxi back to the FBO, the pnf (right seat) contacted Charleston approach to cancel our IFR flight plan and report that the aircraft had collided with deers. He also advised that we would report back to them after the aircraft was parked, secured and post flight-ed. With the airplane shutdown, I briefed both unaware, uninjured passengers of the deer impact incident. We deplaned the aircraft normally and they followed me to the front of the aircraft where they witnessed the damage to the radome. Shortly after that, I escorted both passengers out to their vehicle and returned back to the aircraft to assess the damage. During our inspection, we (PIC and SIC) found damages to both the nose (radome) section and the right hand landing gear area. I contacted fc (company flight control) to report our arrival and the deer incident. I told fc that everyone was okay and that I would call our local dom next. The dom was notified that night and the aircraft was grounded. Next, I called Charleston approach to confirm that everyone was okay and that we had indeeed struck wildlife. Charleston airport operations personnel were dispatch to inspect and clear the runway. The next day our base dom arrived and a damage inspection/assessment was completed."
