Registration: N9966G
Aircraft: Piper PA32R
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Wildlife encounter (non-bird)
Injuries: 2 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal
The pilot reported that, during the landing roll, three deer ran from right to left across the runway. He felt a hard strike on the inboard section of the right wing, observed a deer roll over the right wing, and felt a sensation of the right landing gear "hopped" as it ran over a second deer. The pilot was able to maintain control of the airplane and taxied to the ramp without further incident.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing.
The pilot and passenger had to egress through the rear baggage door due to damage to the cabin door.
After exiting the plane, the pilot noticed copious amounts of fuel pouring from the damaged wing.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The pilot added that this was the second deer strike the airplane experienced in the previous three weeks, and airport management was aware of the situation.
The Federal Aviation Administration Chart Supplement, South Central U.S. page for the accident airport, in part, stated:
"Wildlife on and [in vicinity of] airport."
