## Discrepancy

AFTER ARRIVAL TO MIA OF FLIGHT AVA008 COMING FROM BOG, THE PILOT REPORTED: "DURING INITIAL CLIMB POSSIBLE BIRD STRIKE ON THE F/O PITOT PROBES (WRONG SPEED AND ALTITUDE INDICATION ON F/O PFD)".

IT WAS REPLACED THE F/O PITOT PROBE IN ACCORDANCE WITH AMM 34-11-15 PB401 AND PERFORMED FLUSHING OF THE PRINCIPAL TOTAL PRESSURE LINES IN ACCORDANCE WITH AMM 34-10-00-170-001-A, PERFORMED OPERATIONAL TEST OF THE ICE PROTECTION AS PER AMM 30-31-00-710-001-A WITH NORMAL RESULTS.
