## Narrative

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

ON THE EVENING OF THURSDAY 8/19/21 AT 10PM WE WERE ON A FLIGHT FROM MVY TO LWM IN N197DX A FALCON 2000LX.  I, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS THE PIC AND THE SIC WAS ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.  WE HAD THREE PASSENGERS ON BOARD AT THE TIME.  WE WERE ON AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN AND ELECTED TO PERFORM THE ILS TO RUNWAY 5 AT LWM WITH CALM WINDS.  ON ABOUT A 5 MILE FINAL WE CANCELED OUR IFR WITH THE RUNWAY IN SIGHT.  WE TRIED CONTACTING THE TOWER BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE SINCE THEY CLOSED AT 10PM.  WE THEN ANNOUNCE OUR POSITION UNTIL SHORT FINAL ON THE CTAF.  ALL WAS NORMAL WITH THE APPROACH AND SUBSEQUENT FLAIR WITH THE ENGINES AT IDLE AND DURING TOUCHDOWN A LARGE FLOCK OF 30-40 CANADIAN GEESE WERE OBSERVED ON THE RUNWAY JUST OFF THE RIGHT OF CENTERLINE.  I PROCEEDED WITH THE NORMAL LANDING OBSERVING A FEW THUMPS ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE.  I USED FULL REVERSE THRUST AND NORMAL BRAKING TO STOP THE AIRPLANE WITH NO ISSUES FELT.  WE TAXIED INTO EAGLE EAST WITH THE APU RUNNING AND PROCEEDED TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE WHILE TALKING TO BOSTON APPROACH ABOUT THE INCIDENT.  WHEN I VACATED THE AIRPLANE I PROCEEDED TO WALK TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PLANE WHERE I SAW THE DAMAGE INDICATED IN THE PHOTOS ATTACHED.

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.
