## Narrative

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

TOOK OFF FROM TYLER POUNDS AIRPORT, TYR, AT APPROX. 1800L.  CLIMBING OUT SOUTH-WEST BOUND, AROUND 2300FT AGL, FELT AN JOLT TO THE AIRCRAFT.  DECIDED TO RETURN BACK TO TYR TO INVESTIGATE.  UPON LANDING, REALIZED A BIRD STRIKE HAD HAPPENED.

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.
