Narrative

AFTER TKOF IN VMC AT ABOUT 100 FT AGL AND APPROX 160 KTS; HEARD A LOUD THUD WHILE AIRBUS 320 YAWED QUICKLY TO THE L. ACFT QUICKLY RECOVERED TO A NORMAL FLT PATH. TWR CALLED ON RADIO AND SAID THEY SAW SMOKE EMIT FROM L ENG RIGHT AFTER TKOF AND ASKED OUR INTENTIONS. I STABILIZED FLT PATH; CLEANED UP ACFT AND CONTINUED INITIAL PHASE OF DEP. FO RADIOED TWR THAT WE NEEDED TO DETERMINE PROB AND CONDITION OF ACFT AND WE WOULD GET BACK WITH THEM. THERE WAS A STRONG 'BURNING ANIMAL' SMELL THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR OF THE ACFT. ALL ENG INDICATIONS INDICATED NORMAL AND THERE WAS NO VIBRATION OF ACFT OR ANY CTL PROBS OF ANY KIND. I ELECTED TO CONTINUE FLT TO DEST AND FO INFORMED TWR/DEP CTL OF OUR INTENTIONS. DURING DEP; I LEVELED OFF ACFT AT 10000 FT AND PULLED BACK BOTH PWR LEVERS. AGAIN; ALL ENG INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL; NO VIBRATION NOTED; AND ALL ACFT CTLS WORKED NORMALLY. I INFORMED PAX THAT WE PROBABLY HAD A BIRD STRIKE AND THAT EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE NORMAL AND THAT WE WOULD CONTINUE OUR FLT. CONTINUED TO DEST WHILE MONITORING ENG INSTS. ENCOUNTERED NO FURTHER PROBS; NOTIFIED COMPANY; WROTE UP A BIRD STRIKE; AND MADE AN UNEVENTFUL APCH AND LNDG. AFTER STOPPING AT GATE; FO AND MYSELF INSPECTED L ENG. ENG APPEARED UNDAMAGED; BUT STILL HAD THE BURNING BIRD SMELL AND THERE WERE 2 FEATHERS IN THE AFT SECTION OF THE ENG.
