## Narrative

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

THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM SMYRNA, TN (KMQY) AND DEPARTED AT 07:13AM CDT AND ARRIVED AT NORTHEAST FLORIDA REGIONAL (KSGJ) AT 09:32AM CDT. AIRCRAFT WAS ON AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN AND CREW WAS  WORKING WITH TOWER AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THEY HAD BEEN VECTORED TO AN ILS RWY 31 WHEN THEY ENCOUNTERED OFFSHORE RAIN SHOWERS. THEY BROKE THE SHOWERS AND REPORTED THE RUNWAY INSIGHT, THEN THEY WERE CLEARED TO LAND. AFTER PASSING THE THRESHOLD AND IN THE FLARE, THEY NOTICED A FLOCK OF BIRDS AT THEIR 10 TO 11 O'CLOCK. THEY REPORTED

"BIRDS" ON THE INTERCOM AND THEN HEARD 2 THUMPS, LANDED WITH NO INCIDENT AND REPORTED THE BIRD STRIKE ON ROLLOUT. WE GAVE MORE DETAILS TO GROUND CONTROL WHILE TAXIING IN AND WERE GIVEN THE TOWER NUMBER TO CALL AND REPORT ANY DAMAGE.

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.
