An Air Canada Rouge Airbus A321-200 was conducting flight ROU1637 from Orlando Intl. (KMCO), FL to Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau Intl (CYUL), QC. The aircraft departed runway 17R, and during the climb to cruise phase of flight, passing through approximately 1500ft ASL in the vicinity of KAAPE waypoint, a bird strike occurred, and the bird was ingested by engine no.2. The aircraft leveled at 3000ft ASL and engine no. 2 power was reduced to idle. A PAN PAN was declared and the aircraft returned to KMCO for full-stop landing on runway 18R with ARFF on standby.
ARFF conducted a general visual inspection externally and the affected engine was subsequently shut
down. The aircraft subsequently taxied under its own power to the gate where the flight was completed without further incident.
Approximately 6 fan blades sustained shingling and significant soft impact damage from mid to 3/4 span (from root) of the blades. A biologist met the flight and suspected the bird species may have been a turkey vulture.
The aircraft resumed service on 3 February 2023.
