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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On final about 10 feet above the runway at about 60KTS a small bird the size of a tennis ball flew into the cowling on the aircraft and bounced off, no damage was sustained and the aircraft continued to operate as usual.
