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.

The aircraft, an Embraer , EMB-500 was on final approach into Sarasota/Bradenton intl, FL (srq) when the pilot noticed birds around the airport. The pilot stated he saw a small bird floating up towards the plane, the bird went under the wing, and then he felt / heard a thump. Aircraft landed safely and exited the runway. The airport operations manager met the aircraft on the ramp and showed the pilot the dead bird, which was recovered on the runway threshold. The pilot reported he inspected the aircraft and there was no visible damage or any bird remnants. He assumed the bird hit the tire.

There was one soul on board with no injuries.
