## Discrepancy

(AUS) AIRCRAFT HIT A KANGAROO DURING LANDING ROLL. INITIAL IMPACT APPEARS TO BE ON THE LT PROPELLER CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER. ANIMAL REMAINS WERE ALSO INGESTED INTO THE LT ENGINE. FOLLOWING THE IMPACT, THE KANGAROO WAS EJECTED FORWARD AND OVER THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTING THE RT PROPELLER. ENGINEERING INSPECTION FOUND THAT THE LT PROP HAD BENT BLADES AND THE LT ENGINE HAD INGESTED ANIMAL REMAINS. THE RT PROP AND ENGINE ARE SUSPECTED OF SUFFERING AN IMPACT AND MINOR FODDAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.
