Pilots Declared Emergency After Eight Canada Geese Hit The A-330-343<\/strong><\/u><\/h2>\n

A preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said an Alaska Airlines cargo flight on its initial climb struck a flock of geese after takeoff from Cincinnati\/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

According to the flight crew, after takeoff from runway 27, while climbing through 900-1,000 ft, the captain observed a flock of geese flying from right to left. The captain, who was the monitoring pilot, called out “birds” and then the flight crew felt multiple birds impact the left and right side of the airplane. 
The crew observed the engine fail warning and the captain declared an emergency, and requested a return to the airport. During the air return, the flight crew observed smoke entering the cockpit and donned their oxygen masks. After configuring the airplane for landing, the flight crew determined the smoke had dissipated and removed their oxygen masks for the remainder of the approach and landing.<\/p>\n

After landing, the first officer, who was the pilot flying, stopped the airplane on the runway and airport rescue and firefighting (ARFF) personnel inspected the airplane. After determining there was no fire on the airplane, ground personnel towed the airplane to the ramp. Airport operations personnel recovered remains of eight Canada geese. A postaccident examination showed both engines exhibited evidence of bird ingestion. The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n
