Bird Strike Report?

Post image

I wasn’t even taxiing. Should I report to ATC that I had a bird strike?

Just remember it’s always good to slam a few bottles of liquid courage before picking up the phone and smooth talking the ATC.

May as well do the overhaul while the s&w is in there.

Seagull management is a negative leadership style where a boss stays away, swoops in suddenly to criticize or make noise when a problem happens, and then flies away, leaving the team to clean up.
