## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS EN-ROUTE FROM KCPS TO KBVX AT APPROXIMATELY 2000 AGL ON APPROACH. BIRD IMPACTED JUST BELOW PILOT WINDOW AREA. FLIGHT CONTROLS CHECKED GOOD AND CONTINUED THE LANDING WITHOUT FURTHER 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.
