Aer Lingus A330 Multiple BIRD STRIKES on Take Off - Engine Damage & Overweight landing
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 04. 2023
- Aer Lingus Airbus A330 from Dublin to Chicago was just about to get airborne when the aircraft went through a flock of birds, damaging right hand engine, causing significant engine vibrations. You can hear the pilots varying the thrust setting after take off to sort out the issue. The pilots planned a long 15 miles final Runway 28L back in Dublin and an overweight landing using the full length of the runway, and declared an emergency (PANPAN). Idle reverse to reduce vibrations. Notice the emergency vehicles waiting after landing. The pilots asked ATC to pay attention to the brakes after landing due to the aircraft being over Maximum Landing Weight (MLW).
Kudos to the flight crew, ATC and surrounding traffic for their professionalism.

Yeah, it’s never a good sign when your A330 stops sounding like an A330 and starts sounding like a B-17.
Indeed 😂😂😂
That’s why I don’t like GE CF6 powered A330s like this one, I prefer RR Trent 700 powered ones like Lufthansa, Swiss, SAS
I have never liked the CF6 for the A330.
Frist of all it has the least thrust for the a330
Second of all it consumes oil very quickly
third of all it is the least efficient of the 3 engines for the a330
and lastly, it does not handle bird strikes and compressor stalls well at all.
One compressor stall and boom its gonna need lots of repairs.@@ramyfares9099
Even worse when it stops sounding like a B-17 and starts sounding like a glider.
That pilot’s announcement was so calming. Truly professional
It’s pretty straightforward really.
That pilot was my god Father He handles it perfectly
Always a relief when a plane lands safely after an incident.
anyone else notice AF1 in the background conveniently timed at 7:47?
Good catch, I did not even pay attention to the timing 😅
Came to the comment section to see if anyone else caught it also!
I was about to make the same
Comment lol ❤️✈️
yes
FJB
Wow, what a catch! Would you be okay with me featuring this in a Weekly Dose of Aviation episode? Of course you will be credited in the video and in the description.
Hi, thanks for asking! Sure, no problem 😉
Came here from your channel. I wanted to see the full video.
Luckly no one was injured
@@NosoyJoseph What about the poor lovely birds?
@@NosoyJoseph Epic, Lucaas! LOL
My condolences to the bird family🙏.
Also condole for the chicken i had
I was on this flight. Great job capturing it.
Thank you 😉
If Father Jack was on that plane he would be saying “Feckin’ birds”
Then drink
BIRDS !!
FECK OFF !!
Feckin birds again, yeah still my favourite TV show after all these years, love it. Bless him. Father Jack would jump out with his parachute and with the drinks trolley
And drinking furniture polish after the safe landing. Was this when Father Ted tried to go to America?
@Martin Ross no . All the priests was on it coming back from convention or something
Good job to the flight crew 👨✈️
Wow wow well done to all crew
I were taking care of this aircraft as an aircraft mechanic when it was stored at Ciudad Real airport during the Covid 19 pandemic. Very reliable aicraft and engines
CONvid PLANNEDemic.
@@billb7876 exact
@@billb7876 Those birds had more going on upstairs than you
@@incandescentwithrage even after the strike
@Not XiJing Ping Nooo!!! They were hit? Hope all the members of the band are ok...
Awesome capture! May I feature this takeoff in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. Cheers!
Hey mate, love your work! Sure! Feel free to feature with credits 😉
Amazing catch.
Nice calm pilot.
Wow! Nice Video, thx for that😊 you can clearly hear how the engine's vibrating due the Birdstrike and mooving slightly to the right due to the powerloss. Nice handling be the crew👍
Exactly very well handled by the crew and ATC 👌🏽
I just realized that you caught the VC-25 (AF1) among other US aircraft in the background during landing at 7:41
Joe Biden was visiting Ireland yes
Nice video 👍🏻 thanks
Wow! very high quality video along with great footage! Am I allowed to use it in one of my videos (with credit/a link in the description)?
Hi mate! Yes, thanks for asking 😉
@@TheFlyingFrenchmanHD Great :) Thanks for the reply
I wish people would say no as its just compilations of compilations now.
Amazing Pilots
That's what there trained to do
I just flew out of Dub and was shocked at how many birds I saw flying around the airfield...this doesn't surprise me at all. Was concerned at the time tbh.
This A330 is fitted with CF6 engines. They are known to not handle compressor stalls and birdstrikes well but can still contain debris.
Isso mesmo 😮
That’s why RR Trent 700 is better
That's right 👍🏻
It looked like that engine handled this bird strike very well though, didn't even hear a compressor stall.
The A330ceo also has the RR Trent 700 which is the most common type of engine, and the P&W PW4000 too.
I know PW has their special Kevlar around the fan case to contain debris.@@bikerguychris33
Happened to me back in the 90s out of Vancouver Canada, 737-300 and left engine sucked in bird and engine made popping sounds until the PF shut it down, we landed and after a few hours got a replacement plane July 1995
Really surprised that doesn’t happen more often
Normally airports have a huge amount of wildlife deterrent measures in place. Heathrow has a fleet of vehicles dedicated to this very purpose with sounders and alarms as well as firecrackers to disperse birds
Good job
Ouaw impressionnant. Sécurité avant tout c'est clair. Mais il était où l'effarroucheur à l'aéroport de Dublin ?
You were lucky, in 1980 this happened to a heavyweight Nimrod at Kinloss, Just on take off where it hit and ingested 70 odd Gulls and losing 3 of its engines, sadly the 2 pilots died but the rest escaped the wreckage.
Thanks for the share!
Awesome capture! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my video? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.
The birds wanted to go on a butter machine
That was airforce one on the ground! You seemed to have caught everything that day :P
The birds last thought... OH S**T
I was at the airport last week and never seen so many birds around the place.
Everything I’ve just seen indicates the arm chair pilots. Love it.
Wao exactly moment of the bird strike. Excelent. Thank God come back the airport safety
Great capture! Can I use this clip in my upcoming video? Full credits to you in the video description of course 😊
Hi, thanks, yes no problem 😉
@@TheFlyingFrenchmanHD Amazing, thanks a lot 😀
I would like to wish the birds concerned one and all a speedy recovery .
Oh, wow, intense take-off 😳. Thank God, you are still dafe.
Isso Ainda não é Motivo Para um Acidente 😊😊
why wouldn't they be safe?
Was that Airforce One Over there after landing???
7:42 You could see Air Force One 😂
Great landing!👍💪
That person coughing in the background sound sicker than the engine 😷
Where was the bird strike time stamp? Can’t see it anywhere
Hi there, amazing clip! May I feature this in one of my videos, of course you will be credited in the video and description.
Hi there, thank you! Yes, thanks for asking 😉
Looks like only the "debris" from the bird went in the engine, not completely destroying it but likely damaging a few compressor blades and causing an imbalance. Thats what it looked like anyway.
is that the air force one parked up at the landing?
Yes Joe Biden was visiting Ireland at that time. There are also three Boeing C-32
Is that Air Force One and Air Force Two in the background at 7:44?
Affirm
Thing went from A330 to ATR real quick
Well, the ATR doesn't even have FADEC, so not quite 😂
@@rkan2 sure sounds like an ATR
Love how it flew around my house... 😅
Beautiful reassuring accent.
What happened afterwards? Was there much of a delay, a quick fix?
The airplane went to maintenance so it was replaced by another one (EI-EIM), and we took off after an 8-hour delay
Yeah There is very little chance there was a quick fix. If the CF6 has a bird strike its definitely going to need lengthy repairs or just completely swapped out for a new one.
You got pretty close to landing on water. You were very lucky
RIP poor little birds
Hey Leo. I still go back and watch backyard jet from time to time
Fantastic video! Would it be okay for you if I feature this in a future CZcams video of mine? I would of course credit you in the video and description. Thank you and have a great day!
Question... DAA.. Wildlife Management team or system..this could have been catastrophic. Really shoddy airport but professional piloting.
Did i see AF1 there upon return to the field 🤔
Joe Biden was visiting Ireland
Hey great catch mate! Can i feature this in one of my upcoming episodes? Of Course you will get credit for it! Thanks
Hi, yes no problem
what are the chances that a bird strike getting filed by someone still using a camcorder? :) camcorders are are relatively rare these days. :)
I flew on EI-EIK only a week before this and noticed a terrible high pitched sound coming from over the wing. I uploaded it to CZcams and I still have no idea what it is. Did you hear it on this flight?
I just saw your video. No I did not hear that sound. It’s the first time I ever hear it 🤔
@@TheFlyingFrenchmanHD well I'm glad you landed safely anyways
Did anyone catch Airforce One in the background while landing? It’s there plain as day.
Yes, visible at 7:42 in the middle of the landing roll.
Yes 🙂
Were the birds ok?
Are the birds okay??????????
Was that AF1 parked up with a couple of other 757 US Gov stuff?
Yes at 7:47 😅
The 757 one is C32
Aer Lingus A330s vs birds a lot lately
Air force one there?
Half expected feathers coming out when reversers opened
Poor birds!
did u get swapped onto a different aircraft or swapped onto a flight the next day?
We got an another A330 on the same day (EI-EIM) and departed with an 8-hour delay
How much does maintenance cost for this incident and can you trust it after this incident without inspection?
It was birds, nothing got to do with maintenance 🤦
no ones speaking about the air force one and the other planes beside it
cool
So many birds out ahead. Perhaps the airport could do better with bird control? Great video! Great recovery by the pilots! Definitely good luck. Nice seeing the shamrock on the wingtip!
Get rid of all birds near airports...more will replace them. Birds can fly 😉
Birds btw...are everywhere...even 6-7Kms up.
Get rid of all birds... that'll cause ecosystem collapse...and probably end life as we know it.
For all our technology....we humans are not actually that clever 😂
@@davidhilton8680 Birds are the dragon's piercing armor. They thin out higher up. The flocks can be deterred on the ground. Especially on the runway.
@@PurpleDreki
Deterrent methods increasing ineffective.
Falconry, doesn't deter all the birds. They just move to a different area. If the falconer moves with the birds, the birds end up back In the same place. Not a cheap option either.
Alarm call of birds by loud speaker eventually becomes ineffective because birds learn that there isn't really any threat about.
I remember landing at Schiphol and was surprised by the Curlews and Lapwing on the grass next to the runway. Ironically... I'm a birdwatcher & was on a connecting flight to China for a birdwatching holiday 🥴
Probably blocked by the Greenies.
Everyone claps for a normal landing and no clapping for an emergency one 🤣🤣
Apart from a few destinations I hardly ever heard passengers clapping after landing 😅
Only Americans clap on a normal landing
Air force one parked in the ramp during landing.
What happened after? Did you all had to changed to another plane?
Yep airplane swap and we took off a few hours late
The poor birds
air force 1 and 2 in the background also
0:52 'oh no'
7:41 no way af1 was there
How can a plane land so quickly after take off with so much fuel on board? I thought they had to either a) dump fuel or b) keep circling until a certain amount of fuel is burned off.
How can such a heavy plane land? Are certain runway lengths required and if this had been from a different airport it may not have been possible? Or is it always possible to land straight away in the event of an issue during takeoff? Thanks 😊
There is certain factors put into the landing, they will typically ask for the longest runway available, as they will need to land at a higher speed, as the heavier the plane, the higher the stall speed, so if you have an a330 with minimum weight, lets say stall speed will be 100 knots or so, with a heavy load, that may go up to 120 knots, or even 130 knots. Thats what flaps are for though, they provide more lift at lower speeds, allowing aircraft to fly slower.
The A330 does not have any capability to dump fuel. That leaves two options. Circle to burn fuel as you said, or do an overweight landing. Circling to burn fuel is not the greatest idea when you have an engine problem. So you have to quickly decide to perform an overweight landing, which will require most likely the full length of the runway.
Overweight landing is not a major issue on most aircraft. Just gotta make your performance calculations are right and make sure there is enough runway.
@@rkan2 what happens if they ran out of runway on this occasion and had to take off again whilst moving, would that have been possible with one engine not performing as it should?
@@JC_46 If the performance calculations were made correctly, they could operate normally like with normal landing weight with two engines sans the hot brakes.
Poor birds :(
Theres a new airline starting service in the southern U.S. called Colonel Lingus.
Poor birds, poor humans that will arrive late to the destination and for a bit of scare, poor plane for dealing with multiple hits and blood stains... :)
those birds asked for it
Just after V1/VR too. Worst time to happen
Was it birds, or was it “potetas”!!
But tanks anywey to da pilots; Maykalwl and Patrick!! 😂
😮😮😮😮
Was that Air Force 1 at 7:47 ?
Yes and the timing is completely unintentional 😆
@@TheFlyingFrenchmanHD glad you landed safe and glad you got it all on video. Just realized 747😂
How did you feel when this happened ?
I hardly panic and I trust pilots and controllers so relatively relaxed 😅
Isso não Derruba Avião é Só Seguir os Procedimentos que os Pilotos Sabem 😊
Poor birds 😞
Where are the ground staff to keep an eye on birds
Bird threat mitigation is not 100%, and runway surroundings are not inspected before every single take off.
@@TheFlyingFrenchmanHD
Seems like a risky way to run an airport and fly planes!
Why did the plain didn't land quickly? dumping the fuel? makes no sense for me......
It did. But there’s no hurry. The plane can fly with one engine only. As long as it’s not a fire, or anything immediately life threatening, you can take your time to sort the issue out and take a decision.
That’s a classic understatement,we’ve just had a bird strike,we have saved the aircraft AND all your lives,but your going to be delayed,sorry for the inconvenience 😂😂😂
I bet that delayed your flight for a number of hours.
Almost 8 hours
How much did you pay to fly Air Lingus to Chicago?
Roughly 500€ seats included
I see, thanks.
Doesn’t seem like it affected it at all. Better to be cautious since you only have 2 engines
Bring back the 3 and 4 holers
They landed to gather the cooked birds for their onboard meals.
F for the birds 💀💀
Could I use your video in a compilation on my channel? I'll give proper credits and link to the original video.
Sorry I didn’t reply. Yes sure
airforce 1 at 7:49
7:47 ;)
poor birds
