## Narrative

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

02/25/2021, WHILE ON APPROACH TO RUNWAY 29 AT KBED AROUND 100-200 FEET THE CREW REPORTED A BIRD STRIKE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH OUT INCIDENT AND TAXIED TO THE RAMP. UPON ACCOMPLISHING THE POST FLIGHT WALK AROUND THE CREW DISCOVERED THAT A BIRD DID HIT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE LEFT WING INBOARD LEADING EDGE. THE DAMAGE WAS EVALUATED AND A NTO WAS ISSUED BY BOMBARDIER FOR A ONE TIME FLIGHT TO KSPI FOR REPAIRS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED. A SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMIT WAS ISSUED TO FERRY THE AIRCRAFT FROM KBED TO KSPI.

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.
