A flight encountered a flock of birds approximately 5 miles north of the destination airport at 3,000 feet mean sea level. Due to poor lighting conditions, the crew did not observe the birds until impact, rendering the primary flight display (PFD) unusable. The PFD and standby instruments continued to function normally, and engine damage was absent. The flight landed without further incident, with minor damage to the forward fuselage, including a bulkhead, frame, and skin. Smithsonian Feather Identification Lab samples revealed Greater White-Fronted Geese birds.A flight encountered a flock of birds approximately 5 miles north of the destination airport at 3,000 feet mean sea level.
