## Narrative

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

AT APPROX. 2000 LOCAL ON 11/12/19 RV7 N5559B SERIAL NUMBER 71818 LANDED AT HOT SPRINGS MEMORIAL AIRPORT IN HOT SPRINGS, AR. DURING THE LANDING ROLLOUT OF THIS 14 CFR PART 91 VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL FLIGHT A DEER CROSSED THE AIRCRAFT'S PATH FROM THE LEFT AND STRUCK THE PROP, LEFT WING ROOT, LEFT LEADING EDGE, AND THE TOP OF THE LEFT WING. THE AIRLINE TRANSPORT RATED PILOT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT AND BOTH PEOPLE ON BOARD WE UNINJURED. FAA INSPECTORS CONDUCTED AN ONSITE INVESTIGATION OF THE AIRCRAFT DAMAGE AND DETERMINED THE EVENT TO BE AN INCIDENT. THE NTSB AND PILOT WERE NOTIFIED.

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.
