## Narrative

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

ON JULY 15, 2020 AT 1050 EDT, A DJI, MAVIC 2 ZOOM L1Z UAS, SERIAL # 0M6TG85R0A04ZP, UA FA REGISTRATION # FA3RE7RNWP, REGISTERED TO ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ (PIC), REMOTE PILOT CERTIFICATE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, LOST CONTROLLED FLIGHT IN THE AREA OF ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AND HIT A BLACK NISSAN PICKUP TRUCK BEARING ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ TRAVELING ALONG TAMIAMI TRAIL IN NORTH PORT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE UAS WAS FLOWN ON A RECREATIONAL FLIGHT OVER A CONSTRUCTION SITE AT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, USING AN AUTOMATIC FREQUENCY SELECTION FEATURE THAT RANGED FROM 2.400 - 2.4835 GHZ; 5.725 - 5.850 GHZ. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND ARE NOT CONSIDERED A FACTOR. THE UAS WAS DESTROYED AND THE PROPERTY DAMAGE WAS GREATER THAN $500. THERE WERE NO PERSONAL INJURIES. THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, EARLIER THAT DAY. WHILE THIS INCIDENT MEETS FAA UAS ACCIDENT CRITERIA, IT DOES NOT MEET THE NTSB?S UAS ACCIDENT CRITERIA. THE NTSB WOULD NOT ISSUE A NTSB ACCIDENT NUMBER FOR THIS EVENT.  THEREFORE, THIS EVENT WILL BE CLASSIFIED AN INCIDENT.

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.
