Futura 737 aborted T/O
Saturday 19th.
Futura 737-300 EC-JXD aborted its take off from EGGP today after a major bird strike on the runway. Must have been some heavy braking as all four mainwheels were showing canvas threads.
The number 2 engine had several bent fan blades and bird remains in the bi-pass duct.
The aircraft was operating for EZY and sub charters had to be organised using Globespan 737 and Nordic European MD80.
Aircraft decked AOG.

Birds
Does EGGP have any bird-dispersal action programme? I also agree that feathered birds are a problem there, along with the dodgy liver-birds you may meet in town. (Louder, less dangerous)

It is a condition that UK licensed aerodromes have a bird hazard control program in place. This also forms part of the CAA's Aerodrome Audit program which is usually carried out on a annual basis.
