## Narrative

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

ON OCTOBER 30, 2017 AT 1205 CST, A BEECHCRAFT BONANZA BE-33, N7BY, REGISTERED TO BKA LLC., HAD A BIRD STRIKE DURING THE APPROACH PHASE OF FLIGHT WHILE INBOUND TO THE LITTLE ROCK AIRPORT (KLIT).  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME.  THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD OF THE AIRCRAFT.  THE CERTIFICATED PILOT, WHO WAS THE ONLY PERSON ONBOARD THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES.

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.
