Vuelopedia is a work in progress: it currently holds about 30% of the information we expect to have by the third quarter of 2027. Although we use only official, highly reliable sources, some aircraft data and history may still contain errors or inaccuracies. We work hard to clear every anomaly from the records using specialized verification tools.

Accident at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

On August 10, 2014, the Dehavilland Dhc 8 102 aircraft (registration N815EX), was involved in an accident at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (United States) due to a bird strike. Source: the NTSB (United States).

What happened

On 10 August 2014, at about 06:05, US Airways Express flight 4206 — a De Havilland DHC-8-100 operated by Piedmont Airlines, registration N815EX — struck a flock of geese during the take-off roll at Harrisburg International Airport, Pennsylvania, bound for Philadelphia. About 15 seconds into the roll and before the decision speed (V1), the captain, who was flying, saw a large group of geese crossing from right to left ahead of the aircraft. He immediately rejected the take-off while the aircraft struck several birds on the windscreen and on the right engine propeller, which caused heavy vibration. The crew shut that engine down while the aircraft braked and returned to the gate. There were no injuries. The inspection revealed damage to the right propeller, a broken passenger window and damage to the fuselage skin and stringers beside it. Source: the NTSB (United States).
