What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 19 November, 2022, at approximately 1050L,privacy data omitted, a Cessna 172L, experienced a bird strike on short final to runway 14 to the Rogue valley international Medford airport (kmfr). The incident happened at short final at approximately 100' AGL after receiving an ATCT clearance for either a touch and go or landing.
Immediately after the bird strike, the pilot in command (PIC), radioed the ATCT that the aircraft was making a full stop landing due to a bird strike. The landing was completed with no noticeable adverse effect to controllability, stability or performance. All flight and engine instrument readings were also normal.
After clearing runway 14, the aircraft was taxied to parking and the pilot in command inspected the aircraft for damage. Observed on the left wing, outboard 18" from the wing root on the leading edge was a minor deformation of the leading edge, some cracking of the paint along the lower camber of the wing where a seam is formed aligned longitudinally with the suspected point of impact and feathers that became lodged in between a screw that holds an inspection plate in place. No other damage observed.
The decision was made to request a maintenance inspection from their regular maintenance provider. The inspection revealed that there was only a minor dent in the left wing. This dent was within limits and cosmetic only. Nor further action required.
