The content of KLM Flight 1673 was merged into Bird strike on 2 May 2012. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

This number makes no sense. Does it refer to the probability of one plane to experience a deadly bird strike or the total of commercial flight hours? Let's say there are 30 million flights a year, ranging from 1 to 16 hours. One in a billion sounds reassuring, but it isn't. 89.244.89.9 (talk) 21:59, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I don't have the patience to figure out who put in the term "bird ingestion", and I'm not gonna add that obnoxious citation needed tag, but is "bird ingestion" really a term in common, or attested, usage? I mean, I love how gruesome it is, but it is also a bit silly. All right, I'm done here. Zweifel (talk) 02:42, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is the correct term. Ingestion is also used for gun gases entering the engine on gun firing (engine fuelling is altered during gun firing to prevent compressor stalls) and the Panavia Tornado has an exhaust gas re-ingestion audible warning as it slows down with the reverse thrust buckets deployed (gas is deflected forward and enters the engine intakes, the fix is to stow the thrust reverser buckets).
