## Discrepancy

AT CRUISE FLIGHT AT NIGHT, AT APPROX 1500FT ALTITUDE, A SUDDEN BLAST IN THE ACFT WAS FELT. THE PILOT REALIZED THAT HE WAS THEN INJURED DUE TO A BIRD STRIKE THAT PENETRATED THE LT AND RT WINDSCREENS. PILOT REGAINED CONTROL OF THE ACFT AND INITIATED AN EMERGENCY DECENT TO A PARKING LOT. THE LANDING WAS UNEVENTFUL. UPON INSP IT WAS NOTED THAT APPROX 4 TO 5 GEESE HAD STRUCK THE ACFT. BOTH WINDSCREENS HAD BEEN PENETRATED. A HOLE WAS PUNCTURED THRU THE LOWER CABIN AT THE PILOTS T/R PEDALS WITH GOOSE REMAINS , THE UPPER CABIN WAS PENETRATED WITH A HOLE THRU THE ROOF AT THE PILOTS GREENHOUSE WINDOW, AND THE UPPER DOGHOUSE WAS DAMAGED FROM THE IMPACT WITH REMAINS. THE ACFT WAS TRAILERED BACK TO ORIGIN FOR A MORE DETAILED INSPECTION.
