## Narrative

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

LANDED THE AIRCRAFT AND ON ROLLOUT JUST ABOVE 100KTS THE FIRST OFFICER/PILOT FLYING LOOKING OUT THE AIRCRAFT AND NOTICED SOMETHING DART INTO THEIR PATH. A MOMENT LATER HE NOTICED IT TURN AROUND TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. THAT IS THE LAST TIME THE CREW SAW IT. CREW DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING AND WAS UNSURE IF THEY STRUCK THE ANIMAL. CREW PROCEDED STRAIGHT DOWN THE RUNWAY WITH THEIR ROLLOUT AND BRAKING. ONCE THEY SLOWED ENOUGH TO HAND THE CONTROLS OVER TO THE CAPTAIN AND MAKE THE TURN OFF THE ACTIVE RUNWAY THE CREW THE ANTI SKID ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE FELT AS IF IT WAS SLIPPING A LITTLE. AT THAT MOMENT THEY REALIZED THEY MOST LIKELY STRUCK THE ANIMAL. CREW FINISHED THEIR AFTER-LANDING CHECKLIST AND RADIOED THE TOWER INFORMING THEM THEY STRUCK SOMETHING MIDWAY DOWN THE RUNWAY AFTER LANDING. TOWER CALLED AIRPORT DISPATCH AND THEY REPORTED BACK THAT THEY DOUND A DEAD COYOTE ON THE RUNWAY.

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.
