This incident was video recorded by Simon Lowe. 233 people where on board this jet bound for Lanzarote. The number 2 engine sucks in one bird (a crow or corvid) as the plane rotates off the runway.T.V. news reports of two herons being sucked in are wrong.Congratulations to the crew and air-traffic controllers for the calm and professional way they dealt with the situation. Please checkout more video's by me on Flightlevel350.com.

The engine did not flameout. The birdstrike resulted in damage to the compressor section that resulted in compressor stalls which explains the flames popping from the tailpipe. The engine continues to run until it is apparently and expectedly shut down by the flight crew.

Since he was landing with only one engine, he did not have maximum thrust reverse available and was severly limited in how much reverse he could use on the left engine because it would pull the aircraft to the left during roll out. It is very common during maximum use of brakes for the brakes to overheat, boil hydralic fluid, or blow out tires which could start a fire on the landing gear. The fire crew would check the brakes as a precaution in case of fire.

After 40 seconds the video gets boring. You should have edited that out.

Correct. the AVP @ manchester is a fantastic day out :)

They would normally have used the engines to provide reverse thrust to assist in slowing the plane, but as they only had one engine operational, they would have had to use the brakes more to slow down, possibly leading to overheating and the potential for a fire

Can someone explain the necessity of the brake check please.
