JetBlue Flight 158 had just departed Aruba for New York when the crew reported a bird strike involving the aircraft’s right engine.
The pilots declared an emergency, worked through the problem, and coordinated a return to Queen Beatrix International Airport while emergency crews prepared on the ground.
In this episode, retired airline captain Captain Steeeve listens to the ATC audio and breaks down how pilots respond to a bird strike, what happens when an engine may be damaged shortly after takeoff, and why the decisions made in the first few minutes of an emergency are so important.
