## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT N937XJ WAS ON APPROACH TO MCI FROM THE E ON THE BQS6 ARRIVAL. ON A LEFT BASE VECTOR AT 4000 AND AROUND 220 TO 230 KIAS, THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED A BIRD STRIKE ON THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE EXACT LOCATION WAS UNCLEAR TO THE CREW AT THE TIME, BUT THERE WAS BIRD SNARGE ON THE RIGHT SIDE WINDSCREEN. NO EICAS INDICATIONS WERE OBSERVED. ALL INSTRUMENTATION APPEARED NORMAL. APPROACH WAS CONTINUED TO A SUCCESSFUL LANDING ON 19L.  ATC WAS INFORMED UPON TAXI IN OF THE BIRD STRIKE. A POST FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE BIRD HAD CREATED A VOID IN THE RIGHT ELECTRICAL BAY DOOR AND A DENT IN THE SKIN JUST ABOVE THE RADOME ON THE RIGHTSIDE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE BIRD APPEARED TO BE LODGED INSIDE THE OPENING. ATC WAS INFORMED OF THE DAMAGE AND AIRPORT OPERATIONS CAME OUT AND TOOK A SAMPLE FOR THE SMITHSONIAN DATABASE. THE AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED BY MAINTENACE AND A INTERM REPAIR WAS PERFORMED FOR A NON-REVENUE FERRY FLIGHT TO CVG FOR PERMANENT REPAIR.

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.
