## Narrative

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

DURING THE LANDING ROLLOUT ON RUNWAY 8,  A DEER CROSSED IN FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY A SECOND DEER. THE SECOND DEER  WAS STRUCK BY THE PROPELLER. THE MUFFLER TAIL PIPE WAS DAMAGED, AND THE LEFT NOSE WHEEL STEERING ROD END WAS BROKEN AWAY FROM THE STEERING COLLAR.

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.
