What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On November 24th, 2022 a certificated private pilot was practicing take offs and landings at the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport (kazo) under 14 CFR part 91. At approximately 10:46 local time during a departure from a touch and go and approximately 5-10FT off the ground the pilot felt a bump. The pilot immediately notified the tower and then flew a low approach by the tower to have them look over his landing gear and no damage was noted. The pilot came around again and performed a successful landing. Upon taxing into the ramp it was noted that there was a small dent on the outboard leading edge of the right wing. Upon inspection of the runway the carcass of a red tail hawk was found.
