Default RE: Take off drama

There is never an automatic shutdown in the air , it must always be actioned by the pilot. I had a multiple bird strike, many years ago, taking off from Dublin. The engine, a JT8D, had hardly any compressor blades left and the vibration was such it was hard to focus on the instruments until the engine had been shut down.
