DHL A300-600F BIRDSTRIKE & FLAMES From The Engine On Take-off, At Amsterdam Schiphol Airport

[@PilotSanderHD]

Wow, I am overwhelmed by all the comments, views and likes. I've had contact with a pilot from DHL that asked these pilots who had the birdstrike, they had no damages and no fluctuations of engine parameters. And indeed another bird hit the right nose cowl. Thank you SO much for all your feedback and positve comments!

[@mi1899]

I like the bit at the end to show that they made it to the destination safe 👍

[@yudip9982]

yey

[@rule3039]

Did you see that the right hand engine also gets a bird strike a the 12 o'clock position of the engine cowling?

[@MrBen527]

It was a good catch!

[@sarge6870]

Amazing video. And thanks for slowing it down to see the bird actually going into the engine. I am wondering if the pilots even KNEW they had a bird strike if their systems weren't affected?

Right. I was thinking the same thing. The bird was just stationary in the air.

Them engines are tough. Dude just kept flying and landed like a boss. 👏

Yeah he did. Not sure how far the destination airport was, but if he wanted to return to original airport like a ole b¡tch, I'd've been cool with that, too!😄

[@Thebgy1]

It depends, if the engine is damaged which causes problems for the aircraft to remain airborne, pilots will decide on emergency landing. If not and there are no problems, just continue to your destination. Example of bird strike which resulted of engine damage and/or both engine lost is: US Airways Flight 1549

Two birds almost simultaneously ingested into not only the left engine but the right one is crazy especially when dealing with birds that are clearly not flocking!

@British Airways Boeing 747-436 yes it is alright. At this kind of terms, the plane continue his departure into its destination. 1 bird is nothing, its just like a liquid of blood and small chunks of meat going out of the exhaust. Compressor blades can take a hit but not more than 5 birds in the same compressor blade that chopped off the bird. That's really gonna screw up the engine. Watch the movie sully, it is based on true life events (bird flock strike).

Being an expert....birds rarely damage engines. Part of the inspection would be to see if the bird had gone down the core. If it had the manual would say do a boroscope. If the bird had gone down the bypass and not caused any damage...wipe it off and carry on flying!

[@Captndarty]

@@Sterlingjob if birds rarely damage the engine then why was there a fireball and how did the engine continue to operate normally afterwards? Just doesn’t make sense to me

[@Sterlingjob]

@@Captndarty The bird went in and caused the engine to surge hence the flame. It’s not going to stop the engine at takeoff power, could possibly be some damage to the core but in all my time as an aircraft engineer I’ve only seen serious damage 2-3 times.
