## Narrative

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

PILOT REPORTED THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEVELING, FROM THE TURN FROM BASE TO FINAL APPROACH, A LARGE BIRD SWOOPED IN FROM THE RIGHT AND IMPACTED THE LEADING EDGE OF THE RIGHT WING SLAT WHILE DEPLOYED FOR LANDING. THE IMPACT WAS APPROXIMATELY HALF-WAY INBOARD FROM THE WING TIP. THE IMPACT DENTED THE SLAT SO THAT IT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT WITH ANOTHER ASSEMBLY. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED AN UNEVENTFUL APPROACH AND LANDING WITH NO ADDITIONAL DAMAGE OR INJURIES TO THE CREW OR PASSENGER.

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.
