## Narrative

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

ON 09/29/2024 A PA-32-301 DEPARTED RWY 25 AT KORL AND STRUCK A LARGE BIRD CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LEFT-WING LEADING EDGE. PILOT RETURNED TO KORL AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AS A RESULT OF THIS INCIDENT.

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.
