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.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During departure, the pilot reported a bird strike on the left-hand wing. The bird impacted the pitot tube, resulting in the loss of airspeed indication. The pilot contacted the control tower, advised them of the situation, and requested clearance to return for landing. The aircraft landed safely without further incident.
