## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS PERFORMING A NIGHT LANDING AFTER A CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT. WHILE IN THE FLARE, THE PILOT SAW A DEER ON THE RUNWAY BUT HAD NO TIME TO REACT TO AVOID STRIKING THE ANIMAL. THE PILOT REPORTED FEELING A SMALL BUMP BUT THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOTALLY CONTROLLABLE. THE PILOT TAXIED TO HIS HANGAR AND DISCOVERED THE DAMAGE. THE STRIKE DAMAGED THE RIGHT WHEEL FAIRING, RIGHT FLAP AND THE RIGHT UPPER WING SURFACE JUST FORWARD OF THE FLAP.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
