What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The aircraft was on a right base to final approach to runway 14, descending through 1,700 feet on a visual approach, when it encountered a flock of large black birds. The birds collided with the aircraft, impacting the nose radome area, and one bird was ingested by the right-hand engine. The aircraft landed safely, and Jacksonville airport operations personnel collected samples of the bird remains for processing.
