From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

Maintenance personnel conducted an inspection and found no damage, only a small amount of bird remains. The remains were cleaned, and a borescope inspection of the engine revealed no issues.
