Narrative

SUSPECTED BIRD STRIKE (L ENG) ON TKOF. SLIGHT YAW; BUMP; SLIGHT ROLLBACK AND RECOVERY. ENG GAUGES; AIRSPD 100 KTS PLUS AT STRIKE. CAPT ELECTED TO CONTINUE TKOF. NO FURTHER ACFT REACTION. CABIN ODOR STRONG OF COOKED BIRD. CONTACTED DISPATCH AFTER 10000 FT MSL. HAD MAINT INSPECT ENG AT DEST CITY; NO DAMAGE; NO EVIDENCE (BLOOD OR FEATHERS). DEPARTED DEST CITY WITH MECH ON JUMP SEAT. ENG SOUND 'DIFFERENT' THAN NORMAL; BIRD SMELL STILL PRESENT. MECH INFORMED US SMELL WOULD LAST 3 PLUS FLTS AND SOUND COULD BE CAUSED BY UNEVEN HEATING OF T-WHEEL DUE TO BIRD DEBRIS FOULING NOZZLES UNTIL ALL BURNED OFF. SMELL DID GO AWAY AFTER ABOUT 3 FLTS. SOUND STAYED. WAS JUST A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PITCH AND TONE THAN NORMAL; MORE LIKE SIMULATOR SOUND OF ENGS THAN ACTUAL. ALL ENG PARAMETERS NORMAL. ON POSTFLT AT END OF SEQUENCE FOUND BLADE DAMAGE TO R ENG. NORMAL MAINT PROC FOR BIRD STRIKE IS TO INSPECT BOTH ENGS. HAD NOT BEEN ACCOMPLISHED DUE TO OTHER DISTRS. SHOULD HAVE LOOKED MYSELF AFTER FIRST HEARING IT (SECOND FLT); BUT 'BOUGHT' KNOWLEDGEABLE MECH'S EXPLANATION. SUSPECT R ENG SWALLOWED SECOND BIRD ON DSCNT (LOW PWR SETTING) AND THEREFORE NO NOISE UNTIL SECOND DEP.
