A320 Engine failure packs off takeoff
I haven't seen anything on it either.
We had a similar situation positive climb, rotate, thud thud.
Having had a birdstrike in one engine, after PF had stabilized the aircraft, and above acceleration, I as PNF announced that I was about to turn on the unaffected engine's pack, and said I would hold on the other. We agreed on that and did it. We got the ECAM caution about PACK x OFF, and a few minutes later with just high eng vib on one side, we elected to turn the pack on.
It didn't present us with any problems as it was mainly N1 rotor damage, and not a full shut down. No one smelled roast chicken.
Engine damage was 3 bent fan blades and unknown damage to the hot section - I think it was very minor. The vibs were high enough to warrant digging out the QRH and diverting.
Has anyone else experienced similar, or different with engine trouble and pack operation? I would be interested too...
