Hey tower, you, there was a bird that flew across.
00:02
I am not sure if we got it or not.
00:04
I think they got out of the way, but you might want to check.
00:07
First, 3rd of the runway down there.
00:10
Right here.
00:16
Departure of 370, 230, calling 3000.
00:22
370 departure, radar contact.
00:24
I maintain 10,000, 10,000.
00:27
And your 1st fix is LD, correct?
00:31
10,000, 370.
00:34
You assigned a 320 heading for 370.
00:40
We're getting a runway heading and we just debriefed for a very real quick.
00:44
Okay, very good. I was just wondering about that.
00:45
370, turn right, direct to LD.
00:48
Direct to LD at 370.
00:50
There were some dead birds there.
00:55
Thanks, sir.

Myrtle Beach Parker Station 772, the drop and room we're heading off of Myrtle Beach, leveling at 37.
01:18
Thank you, 3589.
01:20
Correction on the heading, fly heading 210.
01:23
Let's go back to 210.
01:24
Slow back to 170 knots or less.
01:26
They might have to do a FOD check.
01:32
Yeah, can we get somebody come out and do a fog check for birds, please?
01:38
Okay, I'm gonna take the truck.
01:40
Thank you.
01:42
72 to the truck.
01:45
370, do you think that you may have hit birds?
01:50
Yeah, there's a good chance that we might have cleaved one up off a wing, or you know how it is, they get caught in the fuselage or something, they might have hit the ground.
02:00
Was it when you were rolling down the runway or when you were already airborne? Rolling down the runway and then we passed a big old turkey buzzard or something off the departure and we had to bank to the left for.
02:10
Okay.
02:12
3589 turn right heading 270 vector cross final for the cleanup.
02:18
