## Narrative

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

A FLIGHT INSTRUCTION SESSION WAS UNDERWAY IN A CIRRUS

SR-20 AIRCRAFT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A RABBIT WITH ITS RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR. THE IMPACT CAUSED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL FAIRING.

A POST-LANDING INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED, CONFIRMING THE DAMAGE TO THE FAIRING. NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS OBSERVED ON THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
