## Discrepancy

MULTIPLE BIRD STRIKES ON CLIMBOUT, LITE SMOKE ODOR THROUGHOUT CABIN.  AIRFRAME AND NR 2 ENG DAMAGED.  AMBER ALERT DECLARED AND RETURNED TO FIELD.  BIRD STRIKE CAUSED THE RTF.  DAMAGED FAN BLADES WERE REPLACED AND THE LPC AND HPC WERE BORESCOPE INSPECTED AND FOUND TO BE SERVICEABLE.  COINCIDENTAL DISCOVERY OF FAN ATTRITION LINER LOOSENESS IS WHAT FORCED THE ENGINE TO BE REMOVED.
