## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT REPORTED SOMETHING STRIKING THE PLANE AFTER DEPARTING RWY30 2NM OFF THE DEPARTURE END. AIRCRAFT CONTINUED FLIGHT, RETURNED TO KTUS, PILOT REQUESTED EMERGENCY VEHICLES ON STANDBY. AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY AND RETURNED TO THE HANGAR WITHOUT INCIDENT. RWY 30 WAS INSPECTED, NO ISSUES NOTED. PILOT REPORTED BIRD STRIKE AND A DENT TO THE RIGHT WING UPON INSPECTION.

NO NTSB #, NTSB DID NOT INVESTIGATE.

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.
