## Narrative

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

ON CLIMB OUT, AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH BIRDS CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO LEADING EDGE OF WINGS AND GEAR DOORS. THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.

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.
