What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
A Diamond DA-42 was on approach to runway 27R, into Sanford airport. The aircraft at approximately 1600 feet on course and inbound noticed a flock of birds circling in front and above the aircraft. The crew configured the aircraft for landing when two birds dove near the aircraft and striking the outboard left wing. The aircraft landed without incident. Maintenance was contacted and met the aircraft to determine the damage if any and described the impact as a small chip on the upper portion of the wing and is being evaluated for further than negligible damage. Further reports indicate the chip was existing therefore considered no damage. The entire incident was reported to all parties to include the tower after it happened. An FAA form 5200-7 has been completed and submitted to the appropriate agency for filing.
