## Narrative

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

ON DEPARTURE FROM BRO CREW REPORT STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED A BIRD STRIKE ON #2 ENGINE AT V1 DURING TAKEOFF FROM RUNWAY 13.  HIGH ENGINE VIBRATION AND REDUCED CLIMB PERFORMANCE WAS NOTED AFTER THE BIRD WAS INGESTED INTO THE ENGINE.  CREW DELCLARED AN EMERGENCY, RETURNED TO BRO AND LANDED RUNWAY 13 WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND FOUND THAT THE #2 ENGINE FAN BLADES WERE DAMAGED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT.  THE #2 ENGINE FAN CASE RECIEVED MINOR DAMAGE AS WELL AND WAS REPAIRED.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED.

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.
