## Narrative

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

DURING FLIGHT LEASON ON APPROACH TO MANASSAS AIRPORT (HEF) AIRCRAFT STRUCK A BIG BIRD ON LEFT WING. NTSB NOTIFIED FOR NUMBER.  RECORDS OF AIRCRAFT REVIEWED WITH NO FINDINGS. LEFT WING HAS STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.

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.
