Delta Flight 1399 was climbing out of Miami on its way to Boston when the crew reported a suspected bird strike shortly after takeoff. The pilots made the conservative and professional choice to return to the airport and get the aircraft checked.

In this video, Captain Steeeve breaks down what likely happened in the cockpit, how pilots confirm a bird strike, and why crews sometimes shut down or idle an engine as a precaution. He also explains how air traffic control quickly opens airspace and clears approaches so the jet can come back safely.

This was a safe outcome, smart decision making, and a great example of how the system works the way it’s supposed to.
