## Narrative

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

MARCH 5, 2019. CIVIL AIRCRAFT N902UP, A CESSNA CITATION TEN, MODEL CE-750, WITH SERIAL NUMBER 750-0141, ENCOUNTERED A BIRD STRIKE DURING THE TAKE-OFF ROTATION AND DEPARTURE OUT OF MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (KMIA). THIS AIRCRAFT IS OPERATED BY GAMA AVIATION, LLC. THE BIRD STRUCK JUST BELOW THE CO-PILOT'S SIDE WINDOW. THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO KMIA WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. NINE PASSENGERS AND TWO CREW MEMBERS WERE ON BOARD THE AIRCRAFT. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED  BY CREW OR PASSENGERS.

AFTER RETURNING TO THE FIXED BASE OPERATOR, MIAMI AIRPORT OPERATIONS LOCATED AND PROVIDED THE CREW WITH PICTURES OF THE BIRD. THE BIRD WAS IDENTIFIED AS A VULTURE, APPROXIMATELY TWO FEET LONG. NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS DISCOVERED.

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.
