Malawian Airlines plane clashes with bird after take off: Forced to return at KIA
Passengers aboard a South Africa bound Malawian Airlines plane were forced to return to Kamuzu International Airport (KIA) Thursday morning in Lilongwe after their plane clashed with a bird soon after take-off.
Malawian Airlines spokesperson Joseph Josiah confirmed the incident.
He said the plane returned to the airport after pilots noticed that it had damaged blades in one of the engines because of the birds’ impact to the plane.
Josiah said the aircraft was destined for Johannesburg.
“It had to make a u-turn to Kamuzu International Airport barely a few minutes after take off following a ‘bird clash'” said Josiah.
He said the the plane, which left at 8:10 am returned to the base after 25 minutes.
He said Malawian Airlines has since called for spare parts from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia and that they hope to repair the plane t so that it goes to South Africa.

The plane struck a bird. The plane did not clash with the bird. The plane flew back to the airport meaning it did not clash!
Do we have vultures in Malawi? Vultures are the main culprits in Bird plane strikes
Note
Read above
The birdstrike happened soon after take off
So u can calculate the height
If Mira can kill a bird with much ease without any damage, do you think this story is adding up? If it was a goat then the whole plane you have burst into flames
Mwazionetsa umbulitu apa, do research you will understand, or watch aeroplane crash investigation pa travel or national geographical channel
Kkkkkkk sometimes it is good to remain silent on issues you don’t know
The correct terminology for this type of incident is “Bird strike”. This is quite a common incident in some airports. A bird strike can cause extensive damage to the aircraft engine, notably the blades.
Answer:
The questions are too difficult sir. I will leave your school!
“Bird strikes” are normal in aviation. Happens all the time during take offs and landings. Luckily, not many end up in disasters however the damage done to the fan blades and other inner workings could be significant depending on the size of the bird or flock. Pilots frequently train for this type of scenario in simulators to prepare them for when such incidents arise. I guess the parts will come Ethiopia because they own the plane if you look at the plane’s registration number.
Here is an answer for you. Have you heard of Kinetic energy? Energy is proportional to mass times velocity squared. The velocity of the Malawi Airlines plane allowed for the impact of bird ( how small it was) to generate enough force to cause such damage. Some basic laws of physics.
Ah Ernest he he he inuyo a nzeru. Odziwa kwambili.
Sorry sir, this exams are too difficult, remember we are just coming from covid holidays and we can’t remember all the lessons, sorry sit
It is very easy to put a question mark on a subject u dont know
Bird strikes can be fatal
Google it ull find the history
Aviation is no joke
its not only size but speed that matter
Thanks for the questions and answers, we have learned alot.
