I believe it was actually two wandering Albatrosses. LOL

Exactly!! I found it quite amusing that the news reporter stated '2 Herons', I mean come on, I don't know where on earth they even got that information from. As the video footage when zoomed in, clearly shows '1 crow' being sucked into the engine...

Disaster??? this is why i don't watch the news that often, they're making something out of actually nothing, the pilots are trained to deal with certain situations and this is a routine thing, I highly doubt it was close to disaster.

You can work on an engine anytime after shutdown, i changed a HPTCC sensor the other day 10 mins after shutdown, was a little roasting!

Good work on the part of the crew. And the birds didn't feel a thing, I'm sure.

Everyone cares spares . In theory it would be possible to return to service the same day. But the circumstances (spare engine, change crew, other damage to the A/C) would have to be ideal...

Although the full inflight altitude is not indicated, what you see in this clip , the A/C would not be pressurizing now. They are too low. The controls have an Emergency Depressurization control to do what u are talking about. This forces the outflow valves to open , thereby causing the pressure to be released.

When i say CAA and FAA regulations im talking about a 2 engined aircraft that has one broken and one working engine before take off or even before taxiing. The pilot made the correct decision in taking off after the bird strike, as you pointed out.

Yes,but that's not the point.After reaching V-1 there is no more runway for RTO.That's the only reason for flying with one engine.Its a 1 second decision the captain has to make! |
