Good afternoon. This video was sent to me. I was the captain of this flight. For those who are interested. After T/O, at a low altitude ( 400-500 ft) we flew through a very large flock of birds. Possibly kievits. Immediately thereafter we got vibration on our nmbr 2 engine and a smell of burning ( birds which went through the core) in the air of the air o system. At fl60, and lower power settings, the vibration ceased and all looked normal and stable. However, damaged was done and therefore return to ams was the safest option. Fuel dumping is not possible on this aircraft and also not necessary so we made an overweight landing. We used all the runway to keep the brakes as cool as possible and we asked the fire brigade to check for possible leakage of hydraulic or fuel . It all looked fine so we taxied under own power to our parking spot. After parking we checked the engines and saw the damage. I am impressed how they are engineered🙏🏻. The engines can handle a lot! Kind regards.
Wow this is impressive handling of the situation (speaking someone - who is terrified of flying, but has to do 10-15 flights every year). Feeling greatly reassured - that this Industry is built on good people (like yourself) handling these kinds of situations, making the safest option when conditions are calling for it.
Both engines ingested a Flock of birds during take off. Severe vibration in RH engine. Multiple fan blades bent on RH engine. No visible damage on LH engine, but a bird went through the core engine so boroscope inspection was needed to inspect internals for damage. Also several birds hit the flaps and ailerons. I met the aircraft on arrival as maintenance engineer to assess the damage.
De fuel dump is een optie op de A330, KLM heeft die optie niet genomen. Met een overweight checklist en performance check kan je weer landen in principe. Alleen wel kans op hete remmen.
Dat is vermoedelijk ook de belangrijkste reden geweest om zo'n beetje alle crashtenders uit de garage te rollen. Die remmen zullen een beste klap hebben gekregen qua temperatuur en dan wil er ongewild wel eens een band ploffen. Om die reden stapt er ook niemand uit want zo'n band kop je niet zomaar terug, wel of geen helm. Onder aan de streep hebben de vliegers goed opgelet in de sim👋

@@rexblokland7778 De baan is flink lang, het is niet zoals een afgebroken start en bovendien is het geen lange 777 of A380. Maar beide motoren hadden schade van vogels, dus kan er van alles lekken of fikken na aankomst. Dat is meer de reden om uit voorzorg dingen na te laten kijken na de landing.
Awesome catch! May I feature this emergency landing in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. All the best to you!
Let's not forget the guys and girls who design, build and maintain those engines! Absolutely amazing the stresses that they can take and still provide thrust.
Kudos to those KLM pilots, they made the correct decision to make an overweight landing rather than risk deteriorating engine conditions during a fuel dump. They obviously know Schipol extremely well. Great capture, Boy! See you on a live soon, my friend!
There is no fuel dump on the KLM A330's. And with two damaged engines you don't want to delay landing. Besides that, an overweight landing on 18R is no real issue.
Fuel dumping is done to avoid an overweight landing and avoid a necessary landing gear inspection. Obviously, this plane will need a lot of inspections so that does not matter, and flying with a defective engine would be a lot of danger.
Your remark reminds me of a (true!!) story I heard of a firefighter employed on an American airbase…. After working there for several decades, he had not been involced in any serious incident, getting close to his retirement he had performed only training, exercise, maintenance aso…. Within a year of his retirement he and his wife went on a short holiday….. in that very week there was a huge incident in which a plane crashlanded and cought fire….. on the airport where he had been employed most of his life!! Obviously him being on a holiday he had no part in the action….. and the weeks remaining to his retirement nothing happened… I can hardly imagine how sad he must’ve been the day his retirement started….
The bird issues at Schiphol are truly on another level. Look at the herron at 04:29 just sitting there. This is what you get when you have runways way too far away from the terminal. Butter landing by the pilot!
Woke up in the middle of the night in IAH, checking up on the status of my return flight to AMS KL662...and witnessed my inbound airplane going back into AMS on flightradar. KLM cancelled KL661 so my returnflight KL662 was also cancelled so i had to rebook through CDG to get back home. Glad 661 came back in safe..but next to cost for getting this aircraft healthy again KLM must have spent a fair amount getting all the pax on other flights to the US...or in hotels for some of the folks in transit through AMS.
Fantastic catch! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description as before. Cheers!
@@mr.pokayoka5449 can't argue with that. But maybe thise birds need a new anti bird collision warning system (ABCWS) 😂 This one is better : bird crash avoidance system BCAS
This was not a "normal" landing, it was what we used to call a "grease-job"! A very gentle and smooth landing. The firefighters are there "just in case" - and they chase the aircraft down the runway to be on hand in case of excessive brake heating or even a brake fire. Better be safe than sorry and overreact a bit...
Not knowing how long your remaining engine can keep you in the air, spending more time dumping fuel is a good option. Yes, you may exceed your maximum landing weight and there may be tire burst, brake overheat, so what. Anything that can be dealt with on the ground is the least of your worry.
Amazing capture! May I kindly request your permission to include this clip in my upcoming episode? Full credit will be given in both the video and the description. Thank you.
Hi Mate, that catch in your video was absolutely epic! Would it be alright if I included it in my next video? I'll credit your channel in the description and link back to the original. Let me know. Cheers
What's that musician called "bird" again, think I know. Thinking of a song about that; Birdland From Wheater Report🎶 Two birds astray need Two fine pilots and a perfect bird, (ground)crews to fly gracefully and safely to land and keep flying possible. Thankfully there's still people that keep their head cool and collective. Very professional indeed. I feel deeply for those in public office.
Most probably because, the aircraft is designed to land safely at a given (max weight) even with flaps. When that safety max weight is exceeded, the faster approach is required to manage the descent rate. The faster approach helps keep the heavier than normal aircraft afloat safely while still descending.

BA flight 009 lost all 4 engines near Jakarta after running through an unseen volcanic ash cloud. They glided down from 37,000 feet to 12,000 feet before managing to restart them all but only 3 were serviceable. With 10,000 foot mountains to clear, they might have had to ditch in the sea if they only had 2 engines... but even with 4, it was a close call!

BS, the bird strikes were departing 24 which is right next to the terminals. Schiphol has a great bird team, but you can't get them all.
Great catch. Glad it landed safe and the emergency services only ended up being a precaution
Glad to see you will get the credit this time for your great video. Smooth as glass landing.
You were there at the right moment. Great catch! 💯
Epic landing. Wow.
Sklled pilots and great video to see. Thanks for your work!
Houston, we have a problem!
Well...... I know the phrase but this happened after departure from Schiphol..
Thank you @AMSLIVE . Very interesting video to watch 🙌
I understand why, but it’s still bizarre that birds can have a devastating effect on engines.
It wasn't devastating, both engines got hit but kept on running despit the damage.
Missed getting their Sully Wings, but Cockpit Crew are Heroes nonetheless.
Excellent job in a tough situation. 💙
Smooth emergency landing right there

Well captured and narrated! Greets from Sweet Lake City.
Fuel jettison is an option on the 330-200. This airplane does not seem to be equipped with it, since there is no nozzle on the flap screw cowling.
Great job by the pilots! That landing was incredibly smooth! I guess it's not a good idea to cross the Atlantic with a dual engine bridstrike LOL

Good morning boy
The A330 from KLM can not dump fuel. So they make a overweight landing.
Why the faster than normal landing? Flaps were not an issue.
More weight = higher speed needed to maintain sufficient lift
Most probably because, the aircraft is designed to land safely at a given (max weight) even with flaps. When that safety max weight is exceeded, the faster approach is required to manage the descent rate. The faster approach helps keep the heavier than normal aircraft afloat safely while still descending.
Fuel dump wasnt available as klm did not buy that option when buying the A330's. So it was a heavy landing.
Good capture

Sorry Gab , maar een A330 kan geen brandstof dumpen als een Boeing
Is een optie maar KLM heeft de optie niet aangevinkt.
