Take off in Gibraltar with Bird Strike and emergency landing

Back


A Bird hit our A319 after take off from Gib (You can hear the vibrations when the engine is hit by the bird at sec 47). Afterwards the engine has been shut down and we have been diverted for an emergency landing with only one running engine in Malaga. Have fun all went well and the crew aboard was very professional.

They are lucky that only one engine took a bird hit. Had another bird taken out the other engine then it would mostly have been fatal. They were very lucky. Hats off to the pilot.

Wouldnt serve as much use to them since there is no view of the engine itself. May be helpful in identifyin the strange noise that is made and that birds can fly very high but thats about it.
