## Narrative

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

THE PILOT STRUCK A CAR WITH MAVIC DRONE WHILE CONDUCTING A ROOF INSPECTION AT PRIVATE RESIDENCE FOR HIS EMPLOYER. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE CLIMBED STRAIGHT UPWARDS NOT REALIZING THERE WAS A SKINNY TREE BRANCH IN THE DRONES FLIGHT PATH. ONCE THE DRONE STRUCK THE TREE BRANCH IT WAS DEFLECTED INTO THE SIDE OF A CAR PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE UAS CAUSED PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE CAR. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AND THE UAS REPORTEDLY JUST LOST TWO FAN BLADES.

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.
