It happens but rarely.

It is going to cost $3m to replace than engine.

tunjijones:
Why always air peace?

proff010:
Birds don strike? Why
Is it because of cost of food or petrol?

OAKSFIVEFARMS:
Some other airports use Falcons to chase birds away in regions where this happens more often, I’d never heard of a bird strike in Nigeria. Maybe I’m not all that informed

Callosobruchus:
I don't understand O! How many Kilogrammes does the bird weigh to make a flight be grounded?

daikale:
This was prophecy by pastor Paul Eneche at the commanding the day mid night prayer earlier today

PulaPower:
Lol. End time birds..

Makes me remember that movie *65*

AntiChristian:


Some will think say na village people!

Na bird!

Ladyauthentic:
Just this morning during the Commanding the day midnight prayer, Godservant, Dr Pst Paul Enenche led us to pray against plane crash as a result of bird. Just this midnight.

God's name be praised for averting this calamity

That's a clever joke! The answer, of course, is "none" – a bird's weight doesn't ground a flight. Planes are grounded due to weather, mechanical issues, or air traffic control decisions, not bird weight! How ever Bird strikes can ground flights due to safety concerns, regardless of the bird's weight. Here's why:

Causes of Bird Strikes
Hmmm!We learn everyday...

1. Engine damage: Birds can be sucked into engines, causing damage or failure. (Engines draw in large amounts of air to generate thrust, the engine's inlet creates a low-pressure zone, pulling air in together with birds that fly near airports unaware of aircraft movement)


2. Windshield damage: Birds can crack or shatter windshields, impairing pilot visibility.

3. Airframe damage: Birds can collide with wings, control surfaces or other critical areas.

Consequences

1. Engine failure: Can lead to loss of power or control.

2. Loss of visibility: Impairs pilots' ability to navigate.

3. Structural damage: Compromises aircraft integrity.

Safety Protocols

1. Immediate landing: Pilots must land as soon as safely possible.

2. Inspection: Aircraft undergoes thorough inspection for damage.

3. Repair or replacement: Necessary repairs or part replacements are made.

Even small birds (e.g., sparrows, pigeons) can cause significant damage. The weight of the bird isn't as crucial as the potential impact on critical aircraft systems.
