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.

During the rollout after landing, the aircraft struck a deer that was crossing the runway. The deer impacted the lower right engine cowl, exhaust, and propeller. The pilot maintained control of the aircraft and shutdown on the runway. The aircraft was towed to a tiedown and no injuries were reported.
