Incident
On September 17, 2009, a British Airways Airbus A319-131, powered by two International Aero Engines V2522-A5 engines, encountered a bird strike during climb after takeoff at approximately 5,000 feet. The event led to a stall in the No. 1 (left-hand) engine. The flight crew performed an in-flight engine shutdown and subsequently returned the aircraft to Copenhagen Airport (CPH), Denmark, where it completed an uneventful single-engine landing.
Post-Incident Actions
Following the incident, the affected engine was removed from the aircraft and shipped to the Rolls-Royce East Kilbride engine facility in Scotland for disassembly and examination.
Investigation
The investigation is under the jurisdiction of the government of Denmark. Further information pertaining to this incident may be obtained from the Aircraft Accident Investigation Board in Roskilde, Denmark.
