Strange angle of entry or was there a duct somewhere to catch the bird, must have been a big one.
Has the PPRuNe accident investigation board been convened to collate the FlightRadar data, ATC comms, structural plans of the Atlas, recipe options for the carcass etc etc? |
The bird was on the right. Shouldn’t they have given way to it? :)

Are they A400s fitted with a galley? 'Lunch just got delivered sir'

"Just a scratch" as John Cleese said many years ago.

Took a Marabou Stork to do that sort of damage, similar area, to a BAC1-11 over Kenya circa 1975, don't build them like that anymore.

C'mon Ppruners, no Metars yet?

From Beverley days - who was overtaking who? Or was the bird so surprised at overtaking it turned round for another look!
|
Alors, fetchez le poulet!
|
How's the bird. ?
|
It was after the co-pilots lunch boxes......

That's good the second world war bombers were not made of plastic ! )))))

I heard the ECM exploded when they fired off the Chiff Chaff.

There was another one a month or so ago, also in Spain.. seems there are lots of large birds there, some with turboprops.

No protrusions there, just static vents. Guess the impact just punctured the skin and then peeled it back....
