"Unfortunately nobody was looking out the window as they approached the geese, probably because of cockpit work load switching frequency, etc."

So what were they supposed to do upon perceiving the hazard of multiple Canada Geese attacking their craft?

After the RAF lost an aircraft which attempted to "duck under" a flock on the approach, the mantra promulgated at the time was "birds always break down", so don't do it!

The advice in the Strategies attachment referring to not going around seems sound and logical, which is why I and others are seeking information regarding the Nov 2008 737-800 hull write-off at Rome Ciampino but answer came there none from the Italian Investigation, nor from the operating company.

(See thread "Missing Accident Report"). Since moved from Safety to Questions if the Mods would like to explain WHY??!!
