## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT REPORTED A BIRD STRIKE 12 MILES SOUTH OF GSO.  AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT AND DAMAGE WAS FOUND TO THE ENGINE COWLING.  NO INJURIES.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
