Bird Strike

Hi there.

In a recent news article it was reported that a Flybe Q400 struck a bird seconds after take off from Guernsey. The bird caused damage to one of the engines which was shut down and the aircraft continued for the entire duration of the flight to Birmingham on one engine.

Access to maintenance facilities would no doubt have been a factor however I would welcome the thoughts from those with more knowledge on the subject than I have.

Thanks.
