## Discrepancy

FLIGHT 1467, PIT-PHL - FOLLOWING TAKEOFF AT APPROXIMATELY 1500 FEET, AIRCRAFT INGESTED A BIRD INTO THE NR 1 ENGINE.  THE COCKPIT INDICATIONS SHOWED ENGINE VIBRATION AFTER THE BIRD STRIKE.  THE CREW PULLED THE NR 1 ENGINE TO IDLE, DECLARED AN EMERGENCY, AND RETURNED TO PIT.  THE FLIGHT MADE A NORMAL APPROACH AND LANDING, AND THERE WERE NO FURTHER INCIDENTS REPORTED.  MAINTENANCE ACCOMPLISHED A BIRD STRIKE INSPECTION PER JPC 43L00005001 AND FOUND THE NR 1 ENGINE DAMAGED BEYOND LIMITS.  THE NR 1 ENGINE WAS REPLACED PER JPC43L40071001.  THE AIRCRAFT IS SATISFACTORY FOR SERVICE.
