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.

ATC dra event report received from dab ATCT: "Daytona Beach, FL (dab): N356SR, H25, reported a bird strike on approach to runway 7L. Aircraft landed without incident. Damage: none. 03/12/2019 2045Z."

The aircraft operator reported that the acft hit a vulture at 1600 ft AGL while turning final for rwy 7 at dab, about 5 miles out. The bird impacted the nose gear tires. The crew informed ATC of the strike but did not declare an emergency. The fire trucks responded anyway and the arpt authority also responded. The bird remains were washed off the impact area and no damage was found during initial visual inspection by the crew, and subsequent inspection by mx personnel. The operator later rptd that the flight crew filed a bird strike report at the FAA wildlife strike database web site (wildlife.FAA.gov).
