If you think there may be damage to the aircraft what ever kind, you write it up - MX clears it or schedules it to be fixed. End of story. What a bunch of sissy Marys.
I cut a deer in half one night landing. It messed up the aircraft. I reported it. There was an investigation. My statement was "I hit a deer on landing" signed Capt. XXX. It was over in one day. It took MX three days to fix the aircraft. No big deal.
A bird strike one night took out a landing light. I mean the light departed the aircraft. Just twisted metal left that once held the light to the aircraft. I wrote it up. MX fixed it. I flew the next leg. Never heard from anybody about that.
We hit a flock of seagulls on take off. There was guts, feathers, and crap all over the windshield. It took longer to clean the windshield than to fill out the log and have MX clear the log. Tower knew all about it. Never heard about it.
If you are worried about bird strikes, you better buy TUMS by the case. It will be the least of your problems.
