Narrative:

Approximately 500 ft after takeoff at dfw, we encountered a bird strike in the right engine. We believe the type of bird was a turkey vulture. The strike quickly became obvious through sound, feel, and smell, then through the high vibration warning on the MFDU. The right throttle was retarded and the vibration and the message went away. All other engine parameters from that point on were normal. Because we were not aware of how much damage was actually done, we declared an emergency and landed at dfw without incident. We landed overweight at approximately 92600 pounds, everything else was normal. The handling by dfw departure control and tower was exceptional. After parking at the gate, we surveyed the damage, which was considerable to the front fan blades. We wrote up the occurrence in the logbook, changed aircraft, and got our passenger to mty a little late but safe.

Title: FK10 CREW HAD A BIRD STRIKE IN THE #2 ENG. HIGH VIBRATION INDICATED ENG DAMAGE.

Narrative: APPROX 500 FT AFTER TKOF AT DFW, WE ENCOUNTERED A BIRD STRIKE IN THE R ENG. WE BELIEVE THE TYPE OF BIRD WAS A TURKEY VULTURE. THE STRIKE QUICKLY BECAME OBVIOUS THROUGH SOUND, FEEL, AND SMELL, THEN THROUGH THE HIGH VIBRATION WARNING ON THE MFDU. THE R THROTTLE WAS RETARDED AND THE VIBRATION AND THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY. ALL OTHER ENG PARAMETERS FROM THAT POINT ON WERE NORMAL. BECAUSE WE WERE NOT AWARE OF HOW MUCH DAMAGE WAS ACTUALLY DONE, WE DECLARED AN EMER AND LANDED AT DFW WITHOUT INCIDENT. WE LANDED OVERWT AT APPROX 92600 LBS, EVERYTHING ELSE WAS NORMAL. THE HANDLING BY DFW DEP CTL AND TWR WAS EXCEPTIONAL. AFTER PARKING AT THE GATE, WE SURVEYED THE DAMAGE, WHICH WAS CONSIDERABLE TO THE FRONT FAN BLADES. WE WROTE UP THE OCCURRENCE IN THE LOGBOOK, CHANGED ACFT, AND GOT OUR PAX TO MTY A LITTLE LATE BUT SAFE.
