## Narrative

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

N330FX, A FLIGHT OPTIONS PHENOM (EMB 505-505) ENROUTE FROM KAPF TO KMKC ON 4/22/2019, DIVERTED BACK TO KAPF.  AT APPROXIMATELY 1600 FEET, THE CREW NOTICED A SMALL BIRD COME WITHIN 15 FEET OF THE AIRCRAFT. AFTER FURTHER OBSERVATION FROM THE COCKPIT, THE CREW OBSERVED A VISIBLE DENT IN THE WING. THE AIRCRAFT CONTROL WAS STABLE, FUNCTIONAL, AND NOT AFFECTED. THE CREW ELECTED TO RETURN TO KAPF AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. NO EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION ON THE GROUND, THE RIGHT LEADING EDGE TIP HAD SUFFERED A DENT DUE TO THE BIRD STRIKE THAT WAS OUT OF LIMITS. AIRCRAFT WILL UNDERGO A LEADING EDGE REPLACEMENT AT NAPLES BEFORE ANY MORE FLIGHTS.

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.
